VAT deduction for the acquisition of a passenger vehicle is presumed to be 50%

An occupational risk consultancy and training company has enquired whether it can deduct 100% of the VAT on a vehicle used for its business activities. The Directorate-General for Taxes (DGT) has ruled that the presumed deduction is 50% and that it is only deductible to the extent that the vehicle is used for transactions that are taxable and not exempt.

The question raised

Question raised: Deduction of the VAT installments incurred by the acquisition of the vehicle used for their activities and whether it is possible to apply a 100% deduction of said installments.

The DGT's ruling

Passenger motor vehicles shall be presumed to be used for the development of business or professional activities in a proportion of 50 percent. This deduction may be adjusted if a different effective degree of use is proven by any admitted means of evidence. Notwithstanding, the installments shall only be deductible to the extent that the assets are used in the performance of operations subject to and not exempt from the tax.
