VAT Treatment of Future Building Rights Assigned to Shareholders in Dissolution and Liquidation of a Company

• The case involves the tax treatment of the dissolution and liquidation of a company when transferring proportional participation rights to the shareholders.
• The shareholders received future building rights as part of the dissolution and liquidation, which were acquired through a purchase option contract.
• The taxpayers and the tax administration have different interpretations of whether the transaction is subject to VAT.
• The taxpayers argue that it is exempt under the VAT law, while the tax administration considers it a provision of services.
• The key issues for the formation of jurisprudence are determining the tax treatment of the rights transferred to shareholders and the significance of the company having already paid and deducted VAT on the initial acquisition of the rights.
• In this case, the transfer of future building rights to shareholders is subject to VAT if the company had already paid and deducted VAT on the initial acquisition.
