Transfer of land under development in settlement of urbanisation levies is subject to VAT, not ITP

A landowner in a development area transfers plots to a developer to settle urbanisation levies. The DGT has ruled that the transaction is subject to VAT at 21% rather than ITP, although it may be subject to Stamp Duty (AJD).

The question raised

Question raised: Taxation of the proposed operation regarding Transfer Tax and Documented Legal Acts

The DGT's ruling

The delivery of land undergoing urbanization constitutes a business activity subject to VAT, therefore the owner must charge the general rate of 21%. As it is subject to VAT, the operation is not subject to the Transfer Tax (ITP) modality. If formalized in a public deed, the variable rate of the Documented Legal Acts modality shall apply.
