- The real estate decree on VAT has been updated with new changes.
- The decree provides rules and guidelines for the VAT treatment of property transactions.
- The interpretation of the decree by the tax authorities is not legally binding for entrepreneurs.
- One of the new changes is the approval for retroactive VAT-liable rental.
- Opting for VAT-liable rental has formal requirements that need to be met.
- Failure to meet these requirements can result in financial consequences for both the landlord and tenant.
- The new decree includes an approval for situations where the requirements for VAT-liable rental are met, but the formal opt-in process was not followed.
