Delivery of a building for renovation is subject to VAT and does not qualify for exemption

A company has requested clarification on whether the acquisition of a building for renovation and subsequent sale as residential units, along with adjacent rural land, is exempt from VAT. The DGT has ruled that the building must be taxed at the standard rate because the exemption does not apply to deliveries intended for renovation, whereas the rural land would be exempt unless the exemption is expressly waived.
