Therefore, companies that manufactured and lease-type housing and businesses that have built these buildings for resale which, although at the moment, they have come to be leased, from scratch, the exemption from registration. The application of the exemption will result in the non-deductibility of the tax on the purchase, including financial leasing, the cost of maintenance, recovery and management of buildings dedicated to living for companies operating in the field the mere sale of such property and leasing real estate in the area of \u200b\u200btranslational character.

letting of "instrumental by nature "
The scheme of the locations of buildings instrumental nature provides for the exemption from VAT of the leases entered into by any taxpayer, in respect of holders who do not acting in a firm or who, while acting in the exercise enterprise are found to be subject to pro rata deduction for an amount less than or equal to 25%. In all other cases, although the location of the equipment manufactured by nature is taken in by companies who have built or renovated, is expected to blanket application of exemption from registration. The forecast for VAT transactions described above, without this depends on the exercise of any option, it deprives the problem of adjustment. In cases where the exemption is, however, given the opportunity to the landlord to opt for the application of value added, thus solving also on the part of landlords operating in the performance of enterprise, the problem of adjustment of the deduction . The adjustment to the deduction should be made only where the landlord does not avail itself of the possibility of an option for the purposes of the ordinary ways, instead of applying natural exemption from registration.

For manufactured housing type for which the term of four years from completion of construction or renovation to an expired date of July 4, 2006 in the first application you should not make any adjustment, the next sale will be made free without this No adjustment to the deduction. The adjustment to the deduction must, however, be made a scheme for the buildings whose construction / renovation completed showing after July 4, 2006 and its transfer is carried out after the expiry of a period of four years from completion or renovation. In the case of manufactured equipment, application of the exemption will not apply, even though four years have elapsed from the date of completion of construction or renovation, and then in the event that the sale is made in respect of transferees who are not acting exercise of business or who, while acting in the performance of a company, subject to the deductible proportion resulting in an amount equal to or less than 25%.
