- As a private individual, you are generally not liable for VAT when selling a building plot.
- A judge ruled that a private individual who sold two building plots still had to pay VAT.
- The judge considered this individual as a VAT entrepreneur, not as a private individual.
- The individual had obligations such as developing a building program, creating a subdivision plan, and preparing the plot for construction.
- These activities involved a risk that is not comparable to the risk of managing private assets.
