VAT and property transactions are uneasy bedfellows at the best of times. Getting the tax wrong, or failing to consider it at all can result in a loss of income of 20% on a project, or forgoing all input tax incurred on a development. Even a simple matter of timing can affect a transaction to a seller’s detriment. Here I take a brief look at issues that can impact residential property transactions. It is important to recognise when VAT may affect a project so I hope that some of these triggerpoints may prove useful.
