Income Tax Deductions in MadridRelating to Property Dealings

Income Tax Deduction Analysis

If you have dealings with property and pay income tax in

Madrid then you may be in line for a tax break.

With so many foreign nationals now based in this area of

Spain it is worthwhile setting out a list of the different tax

deductions that are available for those who are renting or

buying a property in the area.

Income Tax Deduction Analysis

Local tax laws in Madrid are enacted by the regional

parliament in Madrid City with the most important provisions

contained in Decreto Legislativo 01/2010.

The most important deductions available are as follows:

Mortgage Relief Principal Private Residence

Where a mortgage is used to purchase a property destined

to be the principal private residence of the taxpayer then a

deduction may be made where there is an increase in

financing costs due to fluctuations in interest rates

Mortgage Relief Principal Private Residence

The annual limit is €9,015 and applies equally to the

refurbishment of a property or adapting the property to

make it appropriate for the use of a disabled person.

Mortgage Relief Principal Private Residence

The rebate is calculated by having reference to the

difference in the Euribar 1-year interest rate as of the

current fiscal year and the same rate in 2007.

For renting of the principal personal residence

A taxpayer under the age of 35 may deduct 20% up to a

maximum of €840 annually if they rent their primary

personal residence.

The amount paid in rent must be equal to or greater than

10% of the income of the taxpayer

For the Purchase of a New Home

Those taxpayers currently entitled to a deduction for

purchase of a primary residence may add a further 1%

deduction where:

The property is new

(This deduction may not be applied to renovations etc)

For the Purchase of a Primary Residence

Those taxpayers who would have been eligible for this

rebate (had it not been withdrawn by the central

government) may apply the deduction to the regional

government’s portion of the tax.

The amount to deduct is calculated as the difference

between:

For the Purchase of a Primary Residence

• The deduction available on the regional government

portion of the rebate as of 31/12/2008, and

• The deduction available on the regional government

portion of the rebate as per current legislation

If the result is negative, no rebate is due.

Simply put, property transactions in Spain is unique to

this country with legal assumptions made here that just

don't exist elsewhere
