Separate Purchase of Clinic Assets and Premises Subject to VAT, Not Considered Economic Unit Transfer

• The DGT states that buying a clinic’s premises and assets separately does not qualify as a transfer of an autonomous economic unit and is therefore subject to VAT.
• The acquisition involved two transactions: one for the premises and parking, and another for equipment, furniture, IT systems, and client portfolio, with no transfer of employees.
• Article 7.1 of the VAT Law, which exempts transfers of autonomous economic units, does not apply because the transactions do not constitute such a unit.
• Each transaction is considered a mere transfer of goods and is subject to VAT; the property transfer may be exempt if it is a second delivery, unless the exemption is waived.
