When the transaction should be reviewed

We define the issue before proposing a filing or procedure.

View a property case →The tax analysis starts before completion. We review the transaction type, indirect taxes, reference value where relevant, intended ownership, financing and the future obligations that arise for a non-resident owner.
A Spanish property can create non-resident tax obligations even when it is not rented. Rental periods have different bases, deadlines and evidence requirements. With co-ownership, each taxpayer normally has a separate obligation according to their share.
For a non-resident seller, the buyer withholds 3% on account using Form 211. The seller then calculates the capital gain and files the relevant return, claiming a refund where the withholding exceeds the final tax.
The scope is agreed by fixed quote. It may include a tax map, review of available values and documents, scenario comparison, post-completion obligations and coordination with notaries, registries or legal professionals where needed.
Anonymised real client matters. We show the starting point and outcome without publishing information that identifies the client.
