Plusvalía FAQ

Do I owe plusvalía if I sold at a loss?

No. After STC 182/2021 and RDL 26/2021, if you can prove the sale price is at or below your purchase price, the taxable base is 0 € and the tax is 0 €. We submit the deeds as proof in the form.

Difference between the objective and real-gain methods?

The objective method applies an annual coefficient to the land's cadastral value. The real method taxes the actual gain (sale − purchase), proportional to the land share. The law lets you pick the smaller — we calculate both.

How long do I have to pay municipal plusvalía?

30 business days from the deed signing for self-assessment (most municipalities). Some councils issue the bill themselves within 6 months. We confirm your municipality's mode.

Who pays plusvalía: buyer or seller?

The seller (in onerous transfers). For inheritances or gifts, the recipient pays. For non-resident sellers, we coordinate with the buyer's 3 % withholding (form 211).

Does plusvalía apply to inheritances?

Yes. Lucrative transfers (inheritance, gift) trigger plusvalía even when ISD also applies. Deadline: 6 months from death for inheritances (extendable). We coordinate with form 650.
