- Spain’s DGT says a 10% VAT rate can apply to the sale of a plot linked to the later construction of a home if both parts form a single economic transaction.
- This applies when the land sale, building license, and construction are closely connected and separating them would be artificial.
- In the case described, the buyer cannot effectively use the plot until the finished house is delivered, which supports treating it as one supply of a completed dwelling.
- The DGT relies on EU case-law on single composite supplies, especially the Part Service ruling.
- If treated separately, the land could be taxed at 21% and the construction differently, but together the full operation may qualify for 10% VAT.
