Taxes on selling second home in Spain wth the first one also being in Spain

Postby Lavanda » Tue Nov 21, 2023 1:08 pm

I am about to sell a second house in Spain. It is not my main residence but is used regularly. Is there an additional tax to pay on selling the property?

Additional to what? You would pay CGT. Buyer the transfer tax.

Only CGT? What if the profits (tiny) were rolled over into another property? Is the CGT waived?

Hi Lavanda,

"Only CGT? What if the profits (tiny) were rolled over into another property? Is the CGT waived?"...... if you could prove it was your Primary residence :?:

Also there is a age exemption........ 65

You need a Tax Lawyer to get best options for you .............. :idea:
All my best learning experiences start with a problem I need to solve.

Hi Lavanda, this may help

The plus valia has to be paid withing 30 days so beware!!!

I cannot be specific on how much the taxes are as they vary from town to town.

Age exemption only on primary property and I do not thin roll over applies on second properties either....

You don’t need a tax lawyer There are no exemptions on second homes. There are exemptions on your main home if you reinvest the sale proceeds or are over 65 and the property has been your habitual residence for over 3 years.

You don’t need a lawyer to tell you that.

Thank you all very much. In my case I will have to bite the bullet and pay the CGT but it will be small.
