Renovation or improvement works do not qualify as rehabilitation for the housing reinvestment exemption

The taxpayer inquired whether they could apply for the reinvestment exemption by using part of the proceeds from the sale of their primary residence to fund renovations on a new property. The Directorate General for Tax (DGT) ruled that improvement works, such as upgrading installations or carpentry, do not constitute rehabilitation.

The question raised

Question posed: Whether the exemption for reinvestment is applicable.

The DGT's ruling

For works to be considered rehabilitation and allow for the exemption, their primary purpose must be reconstruction through the consolidation and treatment of structures, facades, or roofs. Works involving adaptation, redistribution, reconditioning, or improvements, such as changes to plumbing, heating, electricity, or carpentry, are not included. Furthermore, the total cost must exceed 25% of the acquisition price or market value of the building.
