General rates for an individual buyer. Not applied: reduced rates (young buyers, large families, disability, main home under a price cap…), the 20% Catalan rate for large holders, the optional notary discount of up to 10%. Not included: notary copies and folios (they depend on the length of the deed), gestoría, valuation, mortgage costs (the AJD on the mortgage deed is paid by the lender). The notary's deed fee is shown apart: by default the seller pays the deed and the buyer the first copy (Civil Code, art. 1455), unless the contract says otherwise. The land registry fee is paid by the person in whose favour the right is registered, the buyer (Real Decreto 1427/1989, annex II, rule 8). The loan uses 80% of the price, the usual maximum described by the Banco de España (not a legal cap), and the Banco de España average rate on mortgage loans for open-market housing, not an offer.

If you sell

Income tax on the gain

National rates, the same in every region: your tax residence decides.

Capital gain€80,000
Rate on the gain19%
Income tax on the gain€15,200
Buyer's 3% withholding (advance)€12,000
Left to pay on the return€3,200

Non-resident: 19% on the gain (IRNR), whatever the country; the buyer withholds 3% of the price on form 211 and the seller settles on form 210, where the 3% is credited and any excess refunded.

Not computed: the plusvalía municipal (each town sets its rate and coefficients; the buyer pays it when the seller is a non-resident individual), the main-home reinvestment and over-65 exemptions, agency and notary fees (no official scale for agents). Costs and taxes of the sale you paid lower the gain: subtract them from the sale price. Capital gains tax on a home sale.
