Sale of a building for demolition is subject to VAT and does not qualify for the second-hand building exemption

A query was raised regarding whether the acquisition of a building via auction from a public entity, intended for demolition to allow for new construction, is subject to VAT. The DGT indicates that the transaction is subject to VAT if the transferor is a businessperson or professional acting in the course of their activity; however, the exemption for second-hand buildings cannot be applied as the property is intended for demolition.
