New developments in
transfer taxes

Until the reform of October 2021, this tax was calculated by multiplying the cadastral value of the land on the date of the transfer by the number of years of permanence of the same in the assets of the transferor and by the tax rate set by the City Council, with a maximum of 30%.

Currently, taxpayers have the option of paying tax on the real capital gain, justified by their own means, with new cases in which the Town Councils have new powers to carry out the corresponding verifications. In other words, transactions where there is no increase in value will not be subject to taxation.

The local councils have been adapting their tax ordinances to the new regulation and we will have to see how they will resolve a series of uncertainties as to how the publication of the new reference value will affect them and how the local councils will carry out their checks with the limited means at their disposal. It will also be necessary to take into account how the issue of the temporary effectiveness of the declaration of unconstitutionality in the so-called “consolidated situations” will be developed.
