opt for VAT

Rental income is generally exempt from VAT. If, however, the landlord and the tenant are subject to VAT, they may opt for VAT by filing a request with the relevant tax authorities. Financial sector professionals are generally not allowed to recover VAT in full and therefore do not use the VAT option.

When leasing real estate, the tenant is not subject to any particular taxes payable on the rent. The landlord has to pay ordinary gains on his gains from business leases or income taxes on the rent; in certain instances, he may opt for VAT.

If both seller and buyer are businesses under the Dutch VAT act, and the buyer will use the property for business activities (90% or more of the property) which are subject to VAT, parties can opt for a transfer subject to VAT. If parties opt for VAT at a rate of 21%, both VAT and transfer tax of 6% will be payable. VAT can usually be offset against VAT received or reclaimed from the tax office.
