IVA · derecho a la deducción

Right to VAT deduction on acquisitions intended for business activity

A real estate developer is inquiring whether they can deduct VAT on premises acquired in 2017 that have not yet been sold. The DGT rules that the right to deduction arises when the tax liabilities accrue and does not depend on the subsequent sale of the assets.

The question raised

Question raised: Possibility of deducting the input tax incurred in 2017, despite the fact that the properties giving rise to its output tax have not yet been sold.

The DGT's ruling

El derecho a la deducción nace en el momento en que se devengan las cuotas deducibles. El hecho de que un empresario no obtenga ingresos en un ejercicio no impide ejercer el derecho a la deducción o a la devolución del impuesto soportado. Para ello, se debe acreditar que las adquisiciones se realizaron con la intención de destinarlas al desarrollo de la actividad empresarial.
