On Monday 26th of April, Andalusia’s coalition government agreed to lower taxes in the region of Andalusia. Concretely the following six taxes will be significantly reduced:
- IRPF (personal income tax)
- IHT (inheritance tax)
- Patrimonio (wealth tax)
- ITP (property transfer tax)
- AJD (stamp duty)
- Taxes on gambling
Andalusia slashes Property Transfer Tax (PTT)
Until now, Andalusia followed a sliding scale for ITP that started at 8% and went to 10% contingent on the sale value. This has now been struck off, and a unique tax rate of only 7% applies regardless of the sale value.
This change will be in force as from the 28th of April 2021 until the 31st of December 2021.
Before:
Residential property sale price |
Tax rate |
Up to 400,000€ |
8% |
400,001€ – 700,000€ |
9% |
701,000€ up |
10% |
Now:
Residential property sale price |
Tax rate |
Any |
7% |
This tax change translates into a massive tax saving for resale property buyers in Andalusia.
Examples:
- On a €500,000 sale price, the tax saving is 15%.
- On a €3,000,000 sale price, the tax saving is 27%.
What’s important to note, is that this tax-saving grows exponentially in line with the sale price; the higher the sale price, the larger the % saved in taxes.
Andalusia reduces Stamp Duty
They have also approved to slash Stamp Duty from 1.5% down to 1.2%
Whilst Stamp Duty doesn’t impact on resale property, it does affect off-plan. Anyone buying new-build property will now make a considerable tax saving with this new tax change. That’s a 20% tax saving on new builds!
