Aerial inspection services for power lines are considered services related to real estate for VAT purposes

An aerial inspection company inquires about the taxation and the place of supply of its power line monitoring services. The DGT determines that electrical networks are real estate and that the inspection has a sufficiently direct relationship with them, therefore the service is subject to VAT.

The question raised

Question raised: Taxation under Value Added Tax of the described operations and the place of supply of the operations.

The DGT's ruling

High and medium voltage electrical networks are considered real estate. The aerial inspection of such lines maintains a sufficiently direct relationship with the real estate, qualifying as a provision of services related to real estate. Therefore, these services are subject to VAT when they are understood to be performed within the territory of application of the tax.
