Should I pay VAT if I buy land ?


As regard to the New Legislation for VAT charge on land / plots, (all type of land, apart of agriculture land)

we insist that the owners should get in contact with the VAT Offices, so that to check if the property they plan to sell, is vat chargeable. 

For the owners who own land/plot 'as a share' , thus part of the land belongs to another owner, we insist that all the owners will get in contact with the VAT offices. 

Such charge should be notified to the prospective buyer by our agency, before the process of purchase.   

The vat charge on land where is applicable is 19 pct. 

Those owners who shall construct there resident in the land for which they have paid 19% vat, they have to prove that such property is their residence so that the authorities shall return the 14% of the charged amount back to their account.   To prove that they have to furnish the relevant authorities with the 1st bill of electricity which shows their name. 

In case your property is handled by our agency, please notify us the soonest, in case there is a vat charge. 

There might be cases with lands / plots for sale advertised in our website for which we have not yet been notified whether there will be a vat charge by the owners, or not.  Therefore, please ask us, in case it is not mentioned a vat charge.
