Selling a property is an important decision, and knowing all the associated costs is essential to avoid surprises. If you are wondering “what are the costs for the sale of my house in Malaga?”,<\/strong> in this article we give you a clear and updated guide, differentiating between tax residents in Spain and non-residents. <\/p>\n\n

\u2733\ufe0f 1. Municipal Capital Gains Tax (Tax on the Increase in the Value of Urban Land) <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

This tax is charged by the City Council and is calculated according to the cadastral value of the land and the years that have passed since the last transfer.It is paid by the seller<\/strong> unless otherwise agreed by contract.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\udd39 Residents and non-residents<\/strong>: Both are obliged to pay it if they have made a profit on the sale.<\/p>\n\n

\u2733\ufe0f 2. Capital gain in personal income tax <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

It is taxed on the gain obtained (difference between purchase price and sale price, adjusted with expenses and investments).\ud83d\udd39 Tax resident in Spain<\/strong>: This gain is declared in the IRPF and is taxed between 19% and 28% depending on the brackets.\u26a0\ufe0f Exemption<\/strong>: If you sell your primary residence and reinvest in another primary residence within 2 years, you may be exempt.<\/p>\n\n

\ud83d\udd39 Non tax resident<\/strong>: Pay 19%<\/strong> of the capital gain. Not eligible for reinvestment exemption. <\/p>\n\n

\u2733\ufe0f 3. 3% withholding for non-residents <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

When the seller is not fiscally resident in Spain, the buyer has the legal obligation to withhold 3% of the sale price<\/strong> and pay it to the tax authorities as a payment on account of the possible capital gains tax.The non-resident may request a refund if he proves that there has been no gain or a lower gain.<\/p>\n\n

\u2733\ufe0f 4. Notary fees and cancellation of registration (if mortgage is involved) <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Although most of the notary costs are borne by the buyer, if the seller has a mortgage in place, the buyer must:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • Pay the cancellation of the registration of<\/strong> the mortgage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Assume management<\/strong> if necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    \u2733\ufe0f 5. Real estate agency fees <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

    If you decide to use a real estate agency to sell your property in Malaga, these fees are usually around 5% of the sale price.<\/p>\n\n

    \n\n

    \u2705 How do you know if you are a tax resident in Spain?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

    You are a tax resident in Spain<\/strong> if you meet any<\/strong> of the following criteria:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • You spend more than 183 days a year<\/strong> in Spanish territory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • You have in Spain the main core or base of your activities or economic interests.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Your spouse or minor children habitually reside in Spain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      If you do not meet these requirements, you will be considered a non-resident<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

      \n\n
