Am I entitled to the Flemish renovation premium for moisture control?

This is the income from two years before the application. Are you making your application in 2022? Then it's about 2020 income.

To calculate the income, they take into account the income of the resident as well as the income of all adult persons with whom he or she is living at the time of the application. So if you have adult children who are still living at home while already working, that income is also taken into account.

Income consists of a sum of various incomes:

• The living wage
• Taxable income (joint and separate)
• Professional income obtained abroad
• The benefit, for example, for persons with disabilities

At AquaConsult, you can use the Flemish renovation premium for works such as waterproofing your basement, or at injecting walls to rising damp treat.

For balanced ventilations you have a chance to win another premium: the total renovation bonus. Also known as the BENO pass. Again, there are some conditions attached:

• The home must have been connected to the electrical grid before January 1, 2006
• A contractor must perform and bill for the work
• The BENO pass is only valid if the ventilation being installed is purchased new
• It must be a ventilation system used for the whole house
• Invoices with an application in 2021 or 2022 may be up to 2 years old, including advance invoices

As with the BENO pass, invoices may be no more than two years old on the date of application. Only invoices apply here, so not quotations, order forms, shipping notes or receipts.

Both invoices of materials purchased and work performed by a contractor are eligible. Invoices must be at least 2,500 euros cost to calculate and award a renovation bonus.

The renovation bonus is 30% for both landlords and owners.

• For owner-occupiers, it is a minimum of 1,250 euros and a maximum of 3,333 euros.
• For landlords, it is only a maximum of 3,333 euros.

Those premiums are by category. There are four categories and moisture control is under category 1: the structural elements of the home. The premium is paid within 12 months of your application.
