Planned Clarification of Input Tax Allocation for Mixed-Use Properties in Germany

  • The BMF presented a draft law on modernizing and digitizing the fight against illegal work on 07.07.2025.
  • The draft includes a regulation on the allocation of input tax for mixed-use properties.
  • The regulation aims to clarify the input tax allocation rule in § 15 Abs. 4 Satz 3 UStG, last amended by the JStG 2024.
  • Since 06.12.2024, input tax can only be allocated based on revenue ratios if no more precise economic allocation is possible.
  • To address concerns about the clarity of this allocation for mixed-use properties, the draft proposes prioritizing allocation based on the ratio of usable areas.
  • An alternative method may be used if it provides more precise results in specific cases.
  • The regulation is set to take effect the day after the law is announced.
