Removal of the tax credit on mortgage interest for the main residence
Article 90 of the 2011 Finance Act ends the tax credit on interest on loans taken out to buy or build the main home, created by the 2007 TEPA law (Article 200 quaterdecies of the General Tax Code). It still applies to operations whose loans were all offered before 1 January 2011, provided the purchase takes place by 30 September 2011 or, for a construction, that work has started by that date. Taxpayers already benefiting keep their rights for the planned period. The scheme is replaced by the PTZ+.
