VAT Consequences of Withdrawing Business Assets for Personal Use

  • Withdrawing business assets for personal use can create a VAT liability, even if it has no PIT consequence.
  • Under Article 7(2) of the VAT Act, gratuitous transfer of enterprise goods for personal use is treated as a taxable supply if input VAT was deductible on purchase, import, or manufacture.
  • This applies not only after full VAT deduction, but also after partial deduction, such as the common 50% deduction for passenger vehicles used both business and privately.
  • Real estate withdrawn for personal use may also be subject to VAT if input tax was deductible when it was bought or built.
  • Taxpayers must check conditions like first occupation, elapsed time, later improvements, and exemptions to determine the correct VAT treatment.
