Application of the reverse charge rule in construction projects

  • A company will manufacture and assemble a machine for a client.
  • The client states that the project is part of the construction of a municipal waste treatment center.
  • The question is whether the reverse charge rule of article 84.Uno.2º.f) LIVA applies to this project.
  • The reverse charge rule applies when the project is classified as construction of buildings.
  • The contract or subcontract derived from the project must be considered as construction works.
  • The recipient of the project must act as an entrepreneur or professional.
  • If there are multiple main contractors, the important factor is that the overall construction or rehabilitation of buildings is carried out.
  • In this case, the installation of the machine is part of a building construction project, with the promoter as the recipient.
  • The machine will be installed and incorporated into the property, and its installation is considered as construction works.
  • Therefore, the reverse charge rule of article 84, section one, number 2º, letter f) LIVA applies.
