Individual Interpretation – Correct Assessment of VAT Deduction for a Senior Center Project

• The letter is a response to a request for an individual interpretation of the tax consequences of a project related to the establishment of a “Center” for senior citizens.
• The project involves providing social services to senior citizens through the adaptation of a building in the city center.
• The building will be equipped with ramps and an elevator for accessibility, as well as environmentally friendly solutions such as heat recovery ventilation and a heat pump.
• After the construction work is completed, necessary equipment will be purchased for the functioning of the Center.
• The project is non-commercial and will not generate profit, and the services provided by the Center will be free of charge.
• The municipality, as the project implementer, will not be able to deduct the VAT incurred in the project as it is not related to taxable activities.
• The municipality is a VAT taxpayer and the project is carried out by the Municipal Office, which is responsible for invoice payments.
• The entire infrastructure will be made available for free use.
• The conclusion is that the municipality will not be able to deduct VAT from the investment.
