Reduced 5.5% VAT rate for approved rent-to-own (location-accession) housing
Article 9 of the Act of 9 August 2004 makes homes intended for holders of rent-to-own contracts (Act No. 84-595 of 12 July 1984) under an agreement and prefectoral approval subject to VAT by self-supply, at the reduced rate of Article 278 sexies of the General Tax Code, the later sale to the occupant being exempt. The same article exempts these new homes from property tax on built property for fifteen years. It supplements the social rent-to-own loan (PSLA) created by Decree No. 2004-286 of 26 March 2004.
