Second home tax Hamburg - What does a second home in Hamburg cost?

If you use a second home in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, the tax office for transfer taxes and real estate may ask you to pay the second home tax in Hamburg. The tax applies to holiday homes, student flats or secondary residences for other purposes. Even a caravan on a permanent pitch can be a second home subject to registration. In Germany, the local authorities themselves determine whether they levy tax on the use of secondary residences, who is liable to pay tax and how much tax is payable. Find out whether your second home on the housing market in Hamburg is subject to the Hamburg Second Home Tax (HmbZWSt). With Engel & Völkers Hamburg Elbe you will find fantastic flats as a capital investment, main residence or secondary residence.
