- VAT rules on real estate are unclear and overly complex, causing financial uncertainty for businesses and institutions.
- Nino Arzini’s PhD research analyzes VAT deduction across all phases of real estate (acquisition, exploitation, disposal) and finds current legislation misaligned with VAT’s purpose.
- The research provides a practical framework for advisors, judges, and policymakers to assess and improve VAT rules.
- Recommendations include aligning laws more closely with VAT’s legal character and making legislation clearer and more consistent.
- Ongoing legal ambiguity leads to evolving case law; further research is needed to improve, revise, and better integrate real estate into VAT systems.
