Looking to launch a business as a real estate dealer?
Real estate dealers purchase properties with a view to reselling them, with or without carrying out additional work. Other related businesses such as real estate agency, development, and management may also be carried on.
Choice of the corporate structure
For real estate transactions carried out on a professional basis, the type of corporate structure best suited to the business requires consideration. Based on your existing personal and professional status, and on the real estate projects you hope to develop, we can advise on the best corporate structure for your business as a real estate dealer.
VAT on real estate
Since 11 March 2010, real estate transactions are subject to the general rules on VAT on real estate.
VAT applies to any professional who is subject to VAT when acting in their professional capacity as part of their professional activity on the transfer of a property against consideration and the transfer of new property to themselves. It also applies if the transaction is not carried out as part of a professional activity but only in the case of the transfer/sale of a property acquired for development, within five years of its completion.
