Protect Your Investment
Property investment is capital-intensive. Getting the tax treatment wrong on a single transaction can significantly impact your returns.
Early, specialist advice makes the difference between uncertainty and a clean, commercially sound outcome.
Why It Mattered
VAT on property is one of the most misunderstood and high-risk areas of Irish tax. A single misstep can turn a profitable deal into an expensive mistake. Early, specialist advice made the difference between uncertainty and a clean, commercially sound outcome.
The Outcome
The transaction was structured to fall outside the scope of VAT, eliminating the need for a VAT cash payment on completion and protecting previously recovered VAT. The client completed the sale smoothly, avoided unexpected VAT exposure, and retained flexibility for future investments.
On review, we identified that the property had a VAT history that could trigger a VAT charge on sale, potentially adding a significant VAT cost and creating a cashflow issue for the purchaser. There was also a risk that previous VAT recovered on development costs could be clawed back if the sale was incorrectly structured.
The Risk
The Situation
A long-standing property investor owned a commercial unit that had been let to a VAT-registered tenant for several years. The investor planned to sell the property as part of a wider portfolio reshuffle and expected the sale to be VAT-exempt, assuming this would simplify the transaction.
