- HMRC has updated guidance on the VAT treatment of overage payments in property transactions.
- Overage payments are additional sums paid by buyers reflecting post-sale increases in property value.
- Generally, overage payments follow the original VAT treatment of the land or property sale.
- The VAT treatment is determined by the tax point rules and the status of the property at the time the overage payment is received.
- For new commercial buildings, overage payments remain standard-rated for three years after completion, regardless of when received; overage on unopted bare land remains VAT-exempt even if a new building is constructed later.
