Property acquisition costs are treated as part of the acquisition value rather than deductible lease expenses

A query was raised regarding whether the costs and taxes arising from the purchase of a property (Transfer Tax, notary fees, registry fees, etc.) are deductible in the context of a lease. The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) ruled that these costs do not constitute lease expenses, but instead form part of the property's acquisition value.
