Hello everyone,
we are planning to have our house in Germany built by an Austrian company. The company often builds in Germany and is authorized to submit building plans in Bavaria.
However, the information on their website unsettles me:
Do I understand correctly that if I own a small apartment and rent it out, I am legally considered a company?
And therefore must independently remit the VAT of the built house to the tax office and may only pay the net amount to the Austrian company. And the company itself does not have to pay any tax?
To make it more complicated: If the house is built and paid for jointly by two people, and one owns the apartment while the other does not, would half the amount have to be paid to the German tax office and the other half by the construction company to the Austrian tax office?
