Purchases of a property

Question

Dear

After reading all the information on Dexxter, I acknowledge that there are many costs from your property that you can claim. How does this work with the purchase of the property? Can you enter a percentage of the purchase price (in this case, an apartment) calculated on the basis of the area for professional use percentage? If yes, is this considered an investment? And is this also allowed if the purchases were made several years before the start-up of the sole proprietor? Thank you in advance for your answer.

I think that is possible, but I would question an accountant first. In my opinion, it is an investment. The disadvantage may be that you will have to repay the vAT you claimed if you stopped your self-employed activity.

Hello,

We have already listed a few things for you below

https://dexxter.be/three-reasons-why-it-is-better-not-to-include-your office-home-as-an-expense/

If you include part of the purchase price of your home (not the land!) you will indeed have to write this off over 33 years. This is allowed if the purchases were made several years before you started your business. Be aware that if you depreciate part of it for professional purposes (e.g. 10% of the purchase price of the home (not the land!), you also risk capital gains tax on that 10% of the home used for professional purposes if you sell that home.

Something to be aware of :)

Regards,

Your Dexxter Expert

Okay, thank you for the clear answer!
