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.
The key date here is the date of the notarized deed. Some aids are time-limited.

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

Accelerated Depreciation Chapter:
Accelerated depreciation is an accounting method that allows an asset to be depreciated faster than with the standard linear depreciation method. This allows for a greater portion of the depreciation to be accounted for in the early years of the asset’s life, which can be fiscally advantageous.
Various assumptions are integrated into the model, without claiming to be exhaustive, such as the investment cost, rent, interest rate, discount rate, and current tax legislation. The variables (such as rent, interest rate, etc.) are estimated under current market conditions.
They are not guaranteed and may change over the investment period. The tax benefit is calculated by considering a marginal tax rate of 41%. Profitability is calculated based on a 6% depreciation rate, valid for the first six years. Afterward, the depreciation rate drops to 2% per year.
