- Premises rental is generally VAT-exempt, but VAT can be charged if specific requirements for voluntary taxation are met.
- Voluntary VAT applies to property owners, primary tenants, and secondary tenants renting out premises, not just property owners.
- Voluntary VAT allows landlords to deduct input VAT on costs related to renting out premises.
- Requirements for voluntary VAT include: the rental must be for property, for permanent use in VAT-liable activities, and not for permanent residence.
- If VAT is incorrectly added to rent, the landlord cannot reclaim input VAT, tenants cannot deduct VAT, but the landlord must still pay the output VAT to the tax authority.
