Although on certain occasions this calculation may be close to reality, the nature of the property and the individual circumstances of each buyer must be taken into account. We explain them in detail below:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. VALUE ADDED TAX (VAT) OR TRANSFER TAX (ITP)<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you buy a plot to build or commercial premises as a private person, you will currently pay 21% on the buying price. In the case that you buy a new house you should have to pay 10% to the tax authorities. In addition to the value added tax, there is another tax that you will have to pay, the so-called Tax of Documented Legal Acts (AJD) which currently amounts to 1.5%.<\/p>\n<p>For all other purchases, the tax applied is the Transfer Tax (ITP) and will be paid according to the following scale:<\/p>\n<p>Purchase price:<\/p>\n<p>up to \u20ac400,000: 8%<br \/>\nfrom \u20ac400,000 to \u20ac600,000: 9%<br \/>\nfrom \u20ac600,000 to \u20ac1,000,000: 10%<br \/>\nfrom \u20ac1,000,000 to \u20ac2,000,000: 12% Over \u20ac2,000,000: 13%<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. REAL ESTATE TAX (IBI) AND OTHER LOCAL TAXES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They are paid once a year. The IBI is calculated based on the cadastral value of the property. The amount varies from one municipality to another, but generally amounts to between 0.3% and 1.1% of the value of the land. As for the other garbage and sewerage rates, these are fixed rates that are regulated annually by the municipality&#8217;s council.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. FEES AND CHARGES FOR THE PROPERTY REGISTER AND NOTARY&#8217;S<br \/>\nOFFICE<\/strong><br \/>\nThese are set by law on a sliding scale, but you should estimate about 0.5% of the purchase price.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. PROPERTY TAX<\/strong><br \/>\nIt is an annual tax levied on the net wealth of individuals when it exceeds \u20ac3,000,000 per taxpayer in the Balearic Islands. In this calculation, the first \u20ac300,000 of the primary residence is exempt, and all assets (property, bank accounts, investments, etc.) are taken into account. The tax applies to both residents and non-residents \u2014with differences in the tax base\u2014 and tax rates range from approximately 0.2% to 2.5%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. MORTGAGE COSTS<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you need a mortgage to finance the purchase, you must pay only the cost of the appraisal. The rest of the costs associated with the mortgage are regulated by law since 2019 and must be paid by the bank.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. LEGAL FEES<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the event that you decide to hire the services of a lawyer, you should know that he usually charges about 1% of the purchase price. For our clients we have collaboration agreements with law firms with special rates for our clients.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. OUR FEES<\/strong><br \/>\nOur fees are assumed by the seller. Following our policy of transparency with our clients, the fees we charge for the procedures are always reflected according to our rates informed on our website: www.coolhomesmallorca.com<br \/>\nThis content is for guidance only and does not replace professional advice.
