Real estate asset
Real estate asset
The acquisition of a real estate asset has tax consequences on 2 levels.
- The transfer of ownership of the real estate asset gives rise to specific taxation, both in terms of registration fees and of VAT.
- When the asset moves onto the purchaser’s books and thus off the vendor’s books, this transfer affects the parties’ accounting position and thus their tax situation. In particular, the vendor will post a taxable capital gain or loss.
