13 Purchase Information Rental Guarantee Option: There are two income options you can choose from, either a guaranteed income or a variable income. It is also possible to swap options every three years, giving complete flexibility. For further information on guaranteed and estimated income and outgoing figures please contact us. Fully Managed Rental Most holiday homes in Austria are obliged to be rented when they are not being used by their owner. There are tax advantages to this as you can reclaim part or all of the VAT on your purchase; so the developer has teamed up with top tour operators to maximise the rental potential of your property. The tour operator will advertise your property, schedule your bookings, meet and greet your guests when they arrive, and deal with the laundering and cleaning of your property when they have departed. To reclaim the VAT, you would initially pay the gross price and then claim back all (or part) of the VAT. You are permitted to claim back all the VAT - the full 20% - if you rent your property commercially and do not use it yourself. If you declare in advance that you will be using the property partly for your private use then the amount of VAT you may reclaim depends on the ratio of personal use to rental use. The developers have appointed tax advisors to help with the process, which usually takes about three months to reclaim, and it is even possible to take a bridging loan for this purpose if required. Purchase Costs Purchase costs for buying a property work out about 6.6% of the gross purchase price. The purchaser will be required to pay the notary fees after the contract of sale has been signed. Fees are calculated as follows: Purchase Tax Stamp Duty 3.5% of the gross price Entry to the Land Registry 1.1% of the gross price Notary s fees 2% of gross purchase price inc. VAT Court costs, administration fees approx. 150 euros No Agent s Fee Bank Finance Austrian banks will fund up to 60% of the purchase price and can usually lend up to a period of 25 years. Variable interest rates are currently at around 3% and one year or five year fixed rate mortgages are also available. If you take a mortgage the fees add up to roughly 4% of the value of the loan you will be taking. These comprise a bank set up fee of around 2%, a notary fee of 0.5% for registering the mortgage and dealing with the bank, and a 1.1% mortgage registration fee.
