TAX RULES FOR SELLING IN SPAIN

📌 If you're a Spanish tax resident aged 65 or over and planning to sell your main home on the Costa Blanca, you could be exempt from paying Capital Gains Tax, but only if you've lived in the property as your primary residence for at least three years. 🏠✅

.

🚫 This exemption doesn’t apply to second homes.

📉 If the property isn’t your main residence, or if you sell within three years of owning it, you’ll likely face Capital Gains Tax on any profit, typically charged at 19% for residents. 💸 This tax is settled the following year through your annual income tax return (la Renta). 📅📑

.

🧐 Always double check that your residency and property status are clearly documented before listing. Tax rules can be complex, and getting it wrong can be costly! ⚠️

.

👩‍💼 When in doubt, speak with a local tax advisor to make sure you're fully prepared before signing a sales agreement. ✍️📘
