VAT taxable base for the sale of a vehicle with 50% business use is 50% of the agreed price

A company enquired whether, when selling a vehicle with 50% business use, it should pay tax on the total price or only on the business-related portion. The DGT ruled that the taxable base must only be 50% of the consideration, as the non-business portion does not form part of the company's assets.

The question raised

Question raised: It questions the liability for Value Added Tax on the transfer of the aforementioned vehicle, as well as the content of the sales invoice.

The DGT's ruling

The allocation of a vehicle to business assets in a specific percentage must be manifested in all its aspects. Therefore, the taxable base in the delivery of a motor vehicle allocated at 50% must be computed as 50% of the total agreed consideration. The other 50% of the transfer corresponds to the portion of the asset not allocated to the business assets and remains not subject to the Tax.
