The dynamic world of Real Estate & Housing offers risks as well as opportunities. Project developers, construction firms, institutional and private investors, housing corporations and municipal authorities work closely with Deloitte's VAT and transfer tax specialists to exploit the opportunities and minimise the risks.

The Deloitte approach
Deloitte Real Estate & Housing professionals advise on real estate in the broadest sense of the word. This advice embraces the whole spectrum of VAT and transfer tax issues that can arise in the real estate realm. These include:

• the optimum method of project development from a tax perspective (both purchase and rental)
• the tax issues involved in the transfer of a real estate portfolio (for instance, the best way to realise this transfer from a tax perspective) 
• carrying out due diligence to ascertain potential risks.

Total advice as standard
As Deloitte specialists can bundle and share their knowledge, they are able to stay abreast of developments in legislation and case law at all times. And, where necessary, they will call upon the assistance of other specialists in order to provide our clients with the full and comprehensive advice they need. Through this approach, we strive to be the Standard of Excellence for our clients. Naturally, the professionals at Deloitte Real Estate & Housing will also be pleased to assist you with your tax issues.
