PLF 2027 tabled: the coming tax framework for housing

The essentials

1. 01

   On 19 October 2026, the head of government set out before Parliament his team's priorities for housing: expanding supply, assistance with access to housing and the clearance of dwellings at risk of collapse.[1]

2. 02

   These orientations form part of a government programme built around seven priorities for the 2026-2031 period, which also encompasses investment and major infrastructure projects.[2]

3. 03

   The 2027 Finance Bill is to be tabled in Parliament on Tuesday 20 October 2026, ahead of the confidence vote: it is this text that will carry any changes to the taxation applicable to property transactions and ownership.[3]

4. 04

   Rising construction costs, both materials and labour, are weighing on the economic viability of affordable housing programmes and on developers' margins, with a knock-on effect on cost prices for new-build property.[4]

What it changes for you

For a foreign buyer, two points are worth monitoring without undue haste. First, the timetable: the 2027 Finance Bill, tabled on 20 October, is the vehicle for any tax adjustments affecting property transactions and ownership; until it is voted through, the framework in force remains the one applicable to your project. Second, construction costs, which feed through into cost prices for new-build property. A signed preliminary contract locks in a price: reading the specifications schedule and the delivery timetable takes on its full importance here.

Our reading

We are following the 2027 Finance Bill article by article, because this is where the practical parameters of a purchase are determined: registration duties, capital gains taxation, the regime for rental income. Nothing is settled at this stage. For a project in Marrakech, the right approach remains to have the tax treatment confirmed by the notary at the time of signing, on the basis of the text then in force.
