- The VAT treatment of a company transferring real estate to shareholders depends on whether the company originally had the right to deduct input VAT on the purchase.
- If the property was bought with deductible VAT, the transfer to shareholders is subject to VAT, and only a fixed registration tax applies under the VAT/registration tax alternative rule.
- If the property was bought from a private individual or without VAT deduction rights, the transfer is outside the scope of VAT.
- In that case, the VAT/registration tax alternative rule does not apply, so proportional registration tax becomes mandatory.
