- The VAT regulations do not define the concept of housing, so it is appropriate to define it, according to the usual notion of it, as a building or part of it intended for the habitation or dwelling of a natural person or a family, constituting their home or the seat of their domestic life.
- In this sense, the Supreme Court, in a judgment of June 5, 1992, defines housing as the physical space in which the human being can permanently develop his vital activities sheltered from external agents.
- Consequently, the tax rate to which the execution of rehabilitation work carried out in a residence must be taxed will be 10%, regardless of whether the building is to be used for business activities, provided that it is to be used as permanent housing for the elderly and that more than 50% of the total area, after the rehabilitation works, is used for housing.
