Tax Council Denies VAT-Free Sale of Plots Under VAT Act § 13, Section 2

  • The tax council could not confirm tax-free sale of two plots under the VAT Act.
  • The municipality bought the plots in 2006 for urban renewal and sale.
  • The plots were leased without VAT from 2013 to 2021.
  • A conditional purchase agreement was made, transferring plots after a local plan was adopted.
  • The plots became building land only after the local plan adoption.
  • Since the plots were acquired for sale, they were not solely used for VAT-exempt activities.
  • The plots were not used for VAT-free leasing after the local plan adoption.
  • Therefore, the sale could not be VAT-free under the VAT Act.
