Taxes and Fees When Selling Property in Spain

Tax rates for Sellers in Andalusia

When selling property on the Costa del Sol, two primary taxes are applicable: Municipal Plusvalia and Capital Gains Tax.

Municipal Plusvalia

This municipal tax is based on the increase in the value of the land from the time of purchase to sale. The tax amount depends on how long the property has been owned. StartGroup offers to calculate the plusvalia for you during the sale process. As of November 2021, the Plusvalia can be calculated based on actual profit or a coefficient applied to the cadastral value. Sellers can choose the most beneficial calculation method.

Capital Gains Tax

Current rates for tax residents are:

• 19% on the first €6,000 of gain,
• 21% on gains between €6,000 and €50,000,
• 23% on gains over €50,000.

For EU-based non-residents, the rate is 19%, and for non-residents outside the EU, it is 24%. The taxable gain allows deductions for costs incurred during purchase (ITP/IVA/AJD, notary fees, land registry fees, lawyer fees) and sale (plusvalia tax, real estate agent fees, lawyer fees).

Fiscal Retention for Non-Residents

For non-resident sellers, buyers must withhold 3% of the purchase price and pay it to the tax office. This measure prevents tax evasion. Sellers have 90 days post-sale to file a tax return for capital gains. If there is no gain, the 3% will be refunded to the seller, payable to a Spanish or EU bank account.
