Buyer's disability does not entitle him to 4% VAT on property purchase

A taxpayer asks whether their wife's 75% disability allows the application of the 4% VAT rate on a property purchase. The DGT responds that the tax rate depends on the administrative classification of the property, not the buyer's condition.

The question raised

Question raised For the purposes of Value Added Tax, it is questioned whether, due to a recognized disability, the purchase of the dwelling would be subject to the reduced tax rate of 4 percent.

The DGT's ruling

The 4% tax rate applies exclusively to dwellings classified as special regime social housing, public promotion housing, or housing with public protection that meets the surface area, price, and income limits. The disability of the acquirer is not a relevant factor in determining the VAT rate applicable to the delivery of a new dwelling. In any other case, the 10% rate shall apply.
