VAT Treatment of Land Parcel with Building and Nature Area as a Single Taxable Transaction

  • X purchased a former camping site with three recreational homes.
  • X divided the 5.9-hectare land into ten plots, with 75% designated as a nature area and 25% as a building area.
  • In the third quarter of 2019, X sold three undeveloped plots.
  • X argues that the plots should be considered primarily as a nature area and therefore exempt from VAT.
  • The Inspector argues that the sale of the plots is a taxable supply of building land.
  • The Court rules that each plot qualifies as a separate supply, subject to one VAT regime.
  • The main purpose for buyers is residential, with the nature area enhancing the living experience.
  • The sale of a plot is considered one taxable supply subject to VAT.
  • The correct amount of VAT has been paid.
