Rolf Mosczinsky Cio. Real Estate Mallorca Residence S.L. Spain

Reform law to the Spanish income tax has come into effect as of January 1st, 2007

The reform law has a substantial effect on the real estate sector. Reduction of the profit tax regarding real estate sales of non-residents from previously 35% to 18% as of January 1st, 2007, is to eliminate the asset administering Sociedad Patromonial (S.L.)

The benchmark for real estate sales profit tax for residents and non-residents is 18%. The past privilege of 15% of profit tax for residents has been abolished. However, non-residents still have to fulfil an advance payment of profit tax to the Spanish tax authorities on the day of the signing of the Title Deed (Escritura), normally at a notary’s office. This profit tax is 3% of the difference between the purchase price in the previous Title Deed and the purchase price in the title deed to be signed.

Abolishment of the asset administering S.L.

With the reform law the asset administering company is abolished. Companies are obliged to provide all the legal documents to dissolve the company within the first six months in 2007, and to complete the total dissolution of the company in the next six months in order to have the company removed from the trade register. Whether the company should be incorporated into an active S.L. (at present at 30% to 35% profit tax) or the real estate property should be held in private is to be discussed in detail with one’s lawyer or tax advisor.
