Finland: Public consultation on proposed amendments to VAT adjustment rules for real estate transfers
Proposed to become effective on January 1, 2028
The Ministry of Finance on June 10, 2026, opened a public consultation on proposed legislation that would amend the VAT adjustment rules for real estate transfers and introduce an option to apply VAT to certain property sales.
The proposed legislation would align with the decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in Sögård Fastigheter (case C-787/18).
The amendments are proposed to become effective on January 1, 2028, following the consultation process.
