Important Update on VAT and Fixed Property Transactions
________________________________________
Dear Valued Clients,
We are writing to inform you of important changes to the Value Added Tax (VAT) rate that may affect your property transactions.
Key Changes to VAT Rate
Please note that the standard rate of VAT will increase from 15% to 15.5% on 1 May 2025.
Impact on Fixed Property Transactions
• General Rule: For most fixed property transactions, the applicable VAT rate will be the rate in effect on the earlier of:
o The date of registration of the property transfer in the Deeds Office; or
o The date any payment of the purchase price is made to the seller.
• Exception for Residential Property: If you entered into a written agreement to purchase residential property before 1 May 2025 where the VAT-inclusive purchase price was determined and stated in such agreement, and both the payment and registration occur on or after 1 May 2025, the 15% VAT rate will still apply.
Definition of Residential Property
For the purpose of this exception, "residential property" includes:
• An existing dwelling, together with the land on which it is erected, or any other real rights associated with that property;
• So-called plot-and-plan deals where the land is bought together with a building package for a dwelling to be erected on the land; or
• The construction of a new dwelling by any vendor carrying on a construction business.
We understand that these changes may have implications for your property transactions. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
FHA
