Reduced VAT rate of 10% applies to the construction of a self-built home

An individual has enquired about the VAT rate applicable to the construction of their primary residence and whether they must invoice themselves. The DGT has ruled that the reduced rate of 10% applies to construction works contracted for this purpose.

The question raised

Question raised: Type of Value Added Tax applicable to the described operations. Furthermore, the taxpayer wishes to know whether an invoice must be issued to themselves or to their spouse for those operations they carry out personally.

The DGT's ruling

The reduced tax rate of 10% applies to works executions, with or without the supply of materials, contracted directly between the developer and the contractor for the construction of buildings intended primarily for residential use. This criterion includes individuals who undertake the self-promotion of a dwelling for their own use. A developer building for their own use does not hold the status of entrepreneur or professional and cannot deduct the VAT incurred.
