Buying property in Spain<\/strong> is straightforward once you understand the tax system. While most foreign buyers are not surprised by the process itself, they are often taken aback by the number of different taxes involved<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we work daily with international clients, lawyers and notaries in the Costa del Sol, we often find that the same questions arise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What taxes do I pay when buying? What will I pay every year? What if I rent or sell?<\/em>‘”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide provides clear explanations using simple language and real-life examples from Andalusia and M\u00e1laga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do You Pay Property Tax in Spain?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, Spain has one-off taxes when you buy a property<\/strong>, as well as ongoing annual taxes for property owners<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These can be grouped into three categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Taxes when buying a property<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Annual ownership taxes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Taxes when renting or selling<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taxes When Buying Property in Spain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"ITP
ITP is the main tax when buying resale property in Spain, typically around 7% in Andalusia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The tax you pay depends on whether you are buying a new property from a developer or a resale<\/a><\/strong> property from a private owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. ITP (Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales)<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is the property transfer tax for resale properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It applies to second-hand properties and is typically around 7%<\/strong> in Andaluc\u00eda. It is paid once after purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Villa price \u20ac500,000 \u2192 ITP<\/a> \u2248 \u20ac35,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. VAT (IVA \u2013 Impuesto sobre el Valor A\u00f1adido):<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"IVA
VAT (IVA) of 10% applies when buying new build properties in Spain.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This applies to new builds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applies to: properties bought from developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standard rate: 10%<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paid instead of ITP (<\/strong>For Resale Properties).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New villa: \u20ac500,000 \u2192 VAT: \u20ac50,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. AJD (Actos Jur\u00eddicos Documentados)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a stamp duty tax on new properties<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"AJD
AJD is an additional tax paid on new build properties in Spain alongside VAT.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It applies together with VAT<\/strong> and is around 1.2% in Andaluc\u00eda. It is paid once at purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: \u20ac500,000 \u2192 AJD \u2248 \u20ac6,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary of buying costs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resale property: ~9\u201310% of total costs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New build: 12\u201314%<\/strong> of the total cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This includes taxes, notary fees, legal fees and registration fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annual Property Tax in Spain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"IBI
IBI is the yearly property tax paid to the local municipality in Spain.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once you own a property, you have to pay ongoing taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. IBI (Impuesto sobre Bienes Inmuebles):<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is the main annual property tax, similar to council tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is paid yearly to the local town hall and is based on the cadastral value (which is usually lower than the market<\/a> value).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The typical range is: 0.4\u20131.1%<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A villa with a cadastral value of \u20ac200,000 would incur an IBI of approximately \u20ac800\u2013\u20ac2,000 per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Non-Resident Income Tax (IRNR):<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are not a Spanish resident, you must pay an annual tax, even if you don’t rent out the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is based on imputed income (not real income) and is approx. 0.19% (EU)<\/strong> or 0.24% (non-EU)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you rent out the property, you will pay tax on the rental income instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Wealth Tax \u2013 Impuesto sobre el Patrimonio<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Wealth
Wealth tax in Spain applies to high-value properties depending on region and ownership structure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This only applies to higher-value properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The threshold varies by region. In Andaluc\u00eda, for example, the effective exemption is high, but the rules can change. It applies to net assets, not just the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typical case:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most buyers below \u20ac700,000\u2013\u20ac1m<\/strong> (depending on the property’s structure) do not pay wealth tax.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taxes When Renting a Property<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you rent out your villa, you will have to pay income tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EU residents:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tax rate: 19% on net income<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expenses such as maintenance and management can be deducted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-EU residents pay a tax rate of 24% on gross income<\/strong> and cannot deduct any expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the biggest differences that foreign buyers need to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taxes When Selling Property<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When selling, two main taxes apply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Capital Gains Tax (CGT)<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Paid on profit. Rates are progressive for residents<\/strong> (19\u201347%) and flat (19%) for non-residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Plusval\u00eda municipal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A local tax based on land value increase, paid to the municipality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You pay:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– around 10\u201314% when buying<\/strong>;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– additional taxes only if you rent or sell.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key is to understand the difference between buying new property and buying resale property, and to know whether you are a resident or a non-resident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you plan correctly from the outset, Spain remains one of the most attractive and tax-efficient real estate markets in Europe<\/strong>, especially in areas such as the Costa del Sol<\/strong>, M\u00e1laga<\/strong> and the wider Andaluc\u00eda<\/strong> region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
