Taxes and costs associated with the sale of properties in Spain

Home Blog Taxes and costs associated with the sale of properties in Spain

If you have a house in Spain and want to sell it, you should know that there are a number of expenses that you have to assume as a seller. These taxes and costs vary depending on the type of property, its value, the autonomous community where it is located and your tax situation as a resident or non-resident. In this article, we explain what the main taxes and costs associated with the sale of properties in Spain are and how you can save time and money by trusting Tabaira Real Estate, a leading company in the Spanish real estate sector.

The most common taxes and costs that you have to pay when selling a house in Spain are the following:

Municipal capital gains tax: this is the tax that levies the increase in the value of the land from when you bought the property until you sell it. The percentage varies depending on the municipality where the property is located. This tax is paid to the corresponding town hall.
Income tax for individuals (IRPF): this is the tax that levies the capital gain or loss that you obtain when selling the property. If you are a tax resident in Spain, you must declare it in your annual income tax return. If you are a non-tax resident in Spain, you must pay a percentage of the gain.
Energy certificate: this is the document that certifies the energy efficiency of the dwelling. It is mandatory to obtain it and show it to the buyer before formalising the sale.
Mortgage cancellation fees: if you have a mortgage on the property you are going to sell, you must cancel it with the bank and the property registry. This entails some expenses of cancellation commission, notary, registry and stamp duty. These expenses vary depending on the amount of the mortgage and the autonomous community where the property is located.
