Termination of land swap for future construction allows VAT rectification via credit note

A company has requested guidance on the VAT treatment following the termination of a land swap agreement for future building development, as the entity that originally provided the plots has been dissolved. The Directorate-General for Taxes (DGT) ruled that the return of the assets does not constitute a new taxable supply, but rather a rectification of the original transaction.

How it affects those involved
