See for examples of transactions that are and are not licences to occupy.

A licence to occupy is something that falls short of a formal interest in or right over land within UK land law but nevertheless falls within the European definition of a ‘leasing or letting of immovable property�.

For a transaction to be classified as a ‘licence to occupy� for the purpose of Group 1, it must have all of the fundamental characteristics of a ‘leasing or letting of immovable property� [see VATLP05700].
