TAXES FOR NEW PROPERTY:

If your buy a new property in Mallorca the vendor will add 10% IVA (VAT) to the price. This VAT will be paid by you on the day of purchase directly to the vendor, who will deposit it for the tax authorities.

You will also have to pay an extra 2% tax called “Actos Jurídicos Documentados” (Stamp Duty). This tax must be paid during the 30-day period after signing the purchase deed by you or your representative using the model 600.

So, for a €300.000 NEW PROPERTY you end up paying €336.000.

TAXES FOR SECOND-HAND PROPERTY:

 If you buy a resale property in Mallorca you don’t have to pay all the taxes the day you sign the deed, and from that moment you have 30 days to pay the Transmission Tax, (“ITP Impuesto Transmisiones Patrimoniales”). This tax is progressive, so it will increase proportionally to the value of the property as follows.

-From €0 to €400.000…………………8%
-From €400.000 to €600.000……….9%
-From €600.000 to €1.000.000……10%

-From €1.000.000 to 2.000.000……12%
-Over 2.000.000 … 13%

So,Transmission Tax tax for purchasing a €185.000 property is €14.800,
Transmission Tax tax for purchasing a €550.000 property is €46.500.
And Transmission Tax tax for purchasing a €2.350.000 property is €255.445,00
