In the case of a Sale in Future State of Completion (VEFA), construction costs are divided between work completed at the time of signing the notarized deed, which will be paid upon signing, and work yet to be completed, which will be billed according to progress. For the first category — completed constructions — a VAT reimbursement request can be submitted by the buyer. For the second category — constructions to be completed — an application for approval to invoice at a 3% VAT rate (super-reduced rate for housing) may be submitted.
Completed constructions refer to those already finished at the time of signing the VEFA sale deed. The seller will be able to provide these details.

Others are limited until June 30, 2025 (reduced registration of 50%). Finally, some have no expiration date.
