I know. That's why I'll be selling the house next year and putting the money on a horse!infoseeker wrote:Dave the criteria for no CGT is

Re: Buying a holiday home ... Economics
What are the tax implications out of curiosity if we sold our holiday home over there? None resident, under 65 and just casual visitors. House is valued on deeds at what we'd get for it, or within a smidgeon I'd guess.

Basically "ouch". 3% will be deducted from your sale price and lodged with Hacienda until you pay the rest.
I know a few people here who sold up - paid the 3% and that was the end of the matter.

When you do a tax return, you mention your "profit" on the house.http://****/t ... residents/

Appreciated Mowser, thank you. I suppose that's a bonus for a true declaration of price when you purchase then.

Re: Buying a holiday home ... Economics
It certainly does not 'take years to get the money back' as indicated in that article. AEAT has a maximum of six months in which to repay any refund due, after that they have to pay interest. Delays are usually caused by errors in completing the procedure or non-payment of non-resident taxes and the capital gain is taxed at 20% not 21%, the 'relief for inflation' has been discontinued and the CGT return is made on form 210 not 212.

Re: Buying a holiday home ... Economics
For property sales made since 11th July 2015 the Capital Gains tax rate is 19,5% (reduced from 20%) This will be reduced again to 19% on 1st January 2016. The retention for non-residents stays the same at 3%.
If anyone has transacted a sale since that date make sure that the person submitting your CGT return is calculating the tax at 19,5% rather than 20%.
