- The case concerns the liquidation of a real estate investment fund wholly owned by a province, with direct assignment of the fund’s assets (instrumental buildings and a buildable plot) to the sole unitholder.
- The applicant argues that the assignment should be treated, for indirect tax purposes, as a taxable transfer for consideration, because it satisfies the unitholder’s right to receive back the value of its investment during liquidation.
- For VAT, the assignment of the instrumental buildings is said to fall under the VAT exemption for transfers of instrumental property (Art. 10(1)(8-ter) DPR 633/1972).
- Because the transaction is within the scope of VAT, albeit exempt, the VAT/registration-tax alternation principle is asserted to apply.
- The ruling addresses the mortgage tax treatment of the deed registering the assignment of the properties to the public entity unitholder in the liquidation phase of the fund.
