Plus Valia Tax
-
This is a one off tax levied by the local Tax Authorities. This is based on the increase in value of the land on which the property is situated since the property was last sold. The figures are based on the rateable value of the land (Valor Catastral del Suelo) and not on the sales price. We can find out this figure for you before you make the decision to sell.
-
Retention (non-residents only)
-
Capital gains for non-resident vendors within the EU is 19%, outside of the EU is 24%. The purchaser is obliged to retain 3% of the declared sales price and pay the funds to the Spanish Tax Authorities. This is to guard against any taxes that may be owed in Spain, including Capital Gains Tax. If all tax liabilities are to date, there is a possibility that all or part of this money can be reclaimed.
-
Capital Gains Tax (residents only)
-
Capital gains tax for residents, this is based on the net profit of a sale. There are variations and exemptions and we advise you speak with a lawyer.
