Do you owe VAT when selling a building plot as a private individual?

  • As a private individual, you are generally not liable for VAT when selling a building plot.
  • A judge ruled that a private individual who sold two building plots still had to pay VAT.
  • The judge considered this individual as a VAT entrepreneur, not as a private individual.
  • The individual had obligations such as developing a building program, creating a subdivision plan, and preparing the plot for construction.
  • These activities involved a risk that is not comparable to the risk of managing private assets.
