Tax Law: Deduction of VAT for rental property with solar panels – High Counsel Decision

  • Case involves a dispute over the deduction of VAT for the construction of a rental property with solar panels
  • Inspector argues that there is no direct link between the construction of the rental property and the sale of energy
  • Court rejects Inspector’s argument, stating that the rental property is an investment asset and part of the business assets
  • Court considers the rental property separately from the solar panels, noting its dual function of generating rental income and supporting the solar panels
  • VAT deduction for expenses related to the rental property is only allowed in proportion to its use for taxable activities
