Income tax can be reduced in the year in which we buy a house. For us:
- 2024 bought house
- Filled in temporary income tax statement with Christiaan
	- Used highest salary, from 2022 the year which i received a major bonus
	- He calculated reducables: costs from receipt, interest rate
		- [[Hypotheekrenteaftrek]]; 0.6%
- Definitive income tax statement:
	- Got 142 euro more back, my salary over 2024 was lower than 2022
	- Belastingdienst calculates the reducable part based on cost details that we provide
		- notary costs and such, all found on the receipt
- Following years will be easier: only hypotheekrenteaftrek.
