TAXES TO EXPECT WHEN SELLING

When selling a property in Marbella, Spain, you can expect to pay the following taxes:

  2. Plusvalía tax: Plusvalía tax is a tax on the increase in value of a property over time. This tax is based on the value of the land, not the value of the building. It is paid by the seller and is calculated by the municipality where the property is located.
