- The Italian research entity sought clarification on the VAT rate for building a center for research and significant teaching/training.
- The entity claimed the center should get the 10% reduced VAT rate as a “school building.”
- The Tax Authority agreed the 10% VAT applies to construction if teaching/training activities are substantial.
- Design and planning services are not automatically eligible for the reduced rate and usually incur the standard VAT.
- The 10% VAT can apply to design services only if included in a single contract with the construction of the eligible building.
