Self-Consumption and Removal of Business Assets: Tax and VAT Implications

  • Self-consumption, withdrawal from business use, use for non-business purposes, and allocation to shareholders can create taxable income effects: for direct taxes, the gain is generally calculated using the normal market value of the asset.
  • For VAT, self-consumption is relevant only if input VAT was deducted, in whole or in part, when the asset was acquired.
  • The VAT taxable base is the purchase or cost price determined at the time of withdrawal, adjusted for the asset’s residual value.
  • The tax treatment differs depending on the nature of reserves used in connection with the transaction.
  • For direct taxes, the rule applies to business assets and assets used by professionals when they leave the business/professional sphere without an arm’s-length sale.
