Tax and legal framework for property investors in Spain
ITP — transfer tax on second-hand properties
Resale (second-hand) properties are subject to Impuesto sobre Transmisiones Patrimoniales (ITP), a regional tax that varies by autonomous community. Rates range from 6% to 11% of the purchase price — Andalucía charges 7%, Catalonia 10%, and the Balearics up to 11% for higher-value properties. New-build properties are instead subject to IVA (VAT) at 10%, plus a stamp duty (Actos Jurídicos Documentados) of 0.5–2%. Budget a total of 10–15% in acquisition costs including notary, registry, and legal fees.
IRPF — rental income tax for residents and non-residents
EU/EEA non-residents pay a flat 19% tax on gross rental income, with expenses deductible in proportion to rental days. Non-EU non-residents pay 24% on gross income with no deductions. Spanish tax residents include rental income in their general IRPF tax base, taxed at progressive rates from 19% to 47%; however, a 60% deduction applies for long-term residential lets (reduced from 60% to 50% for new contracts from 2024 in zonas tensionadas).
IBI — annual property tax
Impuesto sobre Bienes Inmuebles (IBI) is levied annually by each municipality on the cadastral value of the property. Rates typically range from 0.4% to 1.1%. Cadastral values are usually well below market value, so the effective cost as a percentage of purchase price is often 0.1–0.3%. IBI is always paid by the property owner and cannot be passed to the tenant.
Ley de Vivienda 2023 — tensioned zone rules
Spain's 2023 Housing Law introduced zonas tensionadas (tensioned zones), allowing regional governments to cap rents in areas where housing costs exceed 30% of household income or rents have risen more than 3% above CPI. Madrid and Barcelona's Catalonia have both implemented restrictions. In tensioned zones, new rental contracts cannot exceed the previous contract rent (for large landlords) or the applicable rent index (for small landlords). Check whether the specific neighbourhood where you are buying has been designated a tensioned zone before signing a purchase contract.
Tourist rental licences
Short-term rentals (Airbnb, Booking.com, etc.) require a regional vivienda de uso turístico (VUT) licence. Many municipalities — including Barcelona, Madrid, Palma, and San Sebastián — have capped or frozen new licences. Verify licence availability for your specific building and street before purchasing for short-term rental purposes.
