Portugal clarifies urban rehabilitation VAT, opening refunds and new dispute over expired zones

  • The tax authority (AT) issued procedures following the law that settled the VAT treatment of urban rehabilitation works, but its guidance created a new dispute over municipalities’ expired urban rehabilitation areas (ARU).
  • Builders and property developers who were charged 23% VAT instead of 6% on projects located in ARU zones without an approved urban rehabilitation operation (ORU) may recover the excess VAT paid.
  • Taxpayers currently under audits for the same issue should not, on that basis alone, face additional VAT assessments.
