Purchase Information Second Home Status The Leogang Apartment has permission to be sold as a Second Homes Property which means it is possible for you to buy with no obligation to rent. Of course if you would like to rent your property you are free to do so and if you choose to rent on a commercial basis there may be tax advantages as you can reclaim part or all of the VAT after purchase. To take advantage of claiming the VAT back you would need to initially pay the full gross (second home price) and then claim part or all of the VAT back. It is only possible to claim the maximum VAT back - the full 20% - if you rent you apartment commercially and do not use it yourself at all. If you declare in advance that you will be using the apartment partly for your private use then the amount of VAT you may reclaim depends on the ratio of personal use to rental use. If you decide to claim part or all of the VAT back the developers have appointed tax advisors to help with the process. It usually takes about three months to reclaim VAT and it is possible to take a bridging loan for this purpose if required. You can choose a management company to make your bookings, receive your guests and check them in and out of your apartment. They would also provide laundry and cleaning services to deal with the change-over when your guests have departed. If you would like to rent your apartment in this way we can recommend local tour operators who can handle everything for you. For further information, estimated income and outgoings and estimated rental returns, please contact us. Purchase Costs Purchase costs for buying a property are (~6.6%) of the gross purchase price.
