westland Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Does anyone know if the 5.5% TVA rules have been changed and now include any new extension works that are under 50% of the original building, or has this always been the case?I have read and re-read an article in the local press which seems to say that TVA is payable at the higher rate only if the foundations, roof, walls amount to more than 50% of the original building. Thanks, Kate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 An extension will always be at the full rate. The 50% exemption refers to where renovation work concerns less than 50% of the area of an existing habitation.http://www.monhabitat.net/guide/art-13,la-tva-a-55.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wozza Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 We just knocked down part of an old building attached to our house and had it re-built. We knocked over 50% of it down, so had to pay the 19.6% VAT. Don't know if this info is of any use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Trollope Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Essentially anyhing "new" - bathroom, extension or whatever is 19.6%. "Renovation" is 5.5% (a new kitchen or new electrics for example) unless is is more than 50% of the building, in which case it is considered "new".At least, that is the basis on which I work...
