Loyer Flex

Every rent payment becomes an automatic tax event: the landlord is credited with the net amount instantly, the withholding tax is credited to the ring-fenced tax account, the lease and the receipt are time-stamped. No public investment.

The starting point

A withholding tax provided for by law, almost impossible to collect.

Withholding tax on rents exists in most general tax codes. The obligation falls on the tenant; it is final or creditable for the landlord. In the private-to-private market, which accounts for most leases, it is almost never applied.

Field inspection is costly and yields little. Loyer Flex moves the withholding into the payment flow itself: it is calculated, deducted and ring-fenced at the moment the rent is paid, with no extra step for the tenant or the landlord.

01

How it works

01

The lease is declared

Tenant and landlord are identified, the lease is time-stamped and its registration with the administration is facilitated from the app.

02

The tenant pays the rent

By mobile money, card or from their Loyer Flex prepaid account, on the agreed date, with an automatic reminder.

03

The withholding is calculated and ring-fenced

At the rate set by the country's general tax code, credited to the ring-fenced tax account and remitted to the Treasury on the legal due date.

04

The landlord receives the net amount and the receipt

Instantly, with an enforceable time-stamped receipt and an annual statement ready for their tax return.

05

The tax administration sees everything

Dashboard of leases, rents and withholdings, pre-filled returns, inspection targeted only at anomalies.

02

Four applications, one register

Tenants

Mobile app: rent payment, receipts, history, prepaid account.

Individual landlords

Mobile app: leases, net receipts, receipts, annual statement.

Professional landlords and agencies

Web back office: property portfolio, reconciliation, accounting exports.

Tax administration

Web back office: supervision, ring-fencing, remittances, access partitioned by officer.

The Loyer Flex prepaid account

A closed account, dedicated to paying rent, that the tenant tops up at their own pace.

Funds are ring-fenced with a licensed payment institution. Paying rent from the account is free of charge; the balance is capped with reference to the rent and deposit, and refunded at the end of the lease. The account lets the tenant smooth their effort and the landlord be paid on time.

Model

No public investment. NovaGov funds and operates the platform.

Results-based remuneration. A commission only on withholdings actually remitted to the Treasury, after a free launch period.

Data ownership. Tax data belongs to the State.

03

What it changes

For the tenant

  • Rent paid in seconds, with an instant receipt.
  • No tax formality: the withholding is done for them.
  • A prepaid account to smooth their outgoings.

For the landlord

  • Net amount credited instantly, every month, without chasing.
  • Proof of tax payment and an annual statement.
  • Registered, enforceable leases.

For the State

  • A withholding collected at source on a market so far out of reach.
  • A register of leases and rents updated continuously.
  • Inspection targeted at anomalies rather than in the field.
Compliance

Loyer Flex is designed within the country's general tax code, its personal data protection law, the regulations applicable to payment institutions and ring-fenced accounts, and anti-money-laundering obligations. The basis of the withholding (legal obligation or contractual mandate) is traced for every lease.
