In the context of a Sale in Future State of Completion (VEFA), construction costs are divided between those already completed at the time of the notarial deed signing, which will be paid at that time, and those still to be completed, which will be invoiced according to the progress of the work. For the first category – completed constructions – the buyer can apply for a VAT refund. For the second category – constructions yet to be completed – an approval request can be submitted for invoicing at the super-reduced 3% VAT rate.
Completed constructions refer to those that are already finished at the time of signing the sales contract in a VEFA transaction. The seller will be able to provide you with detailed information on this.
The reference date to consider is that of the notarial deed. Some aids are time-limited. Certain benefits expire at the end of the year, on 12/31/2024, such as the registration tax credit, accelerated depreciation, and tax deductibility. Others remain valid until 06/30/2025, such as the 50% reduced registration fee. Finally, some have no defined expiration date.

Depreciation is set at 2%, with a special real estate allowance of 4% applicable up to an amount of €250,000 per year. Beyond a construction cost of €4,166,667, depreciation is limited to 2%. The depreciation regime for individuals will be reduced for any acquisition whose notarized deed is signed after 12/31/2024. For legal entities (companies), depreciation is set at 4%, with no special tax allowance.

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.
