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rebate (had it not been withdrawn by the central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
