Spanish Real Estate Sees Revised Tax Rates in Marbella Region
The Spanish Tax Office has sent circular to the homeowners in the Marbella region regarding the change of Tax Rate of Spanish real estate in this region.
The people having incorrect valuations of their properties are given one month’s notice to notify to the National Tax Office or Regional Economic Administrative Court Authorities.
The Tax Rates and valuations of the properties have not undergone changes for about 23 years time since the year 1988. Marbella Town Hall has taken the initiative in 2010 to bring some changes in the existing property laws. These laws will be practiced in the entire municipal region. The Spanish Real Estate is in a struggling situation in present times. The actual valuation of the house and the taxable valuation do not have much difference. The homeowners are having a tough time in repaying their mortgage and paying regular utility bills. The recent revision of the tax laws will make them fall into much more trouble, as they will need to pay some additional taxes.
Many taxation issues may arise due to different arising circumstances. The Rates or IBI is the income tax taken for a home that is owned by an individual but not used for home purpose or business purpose. Another Tax taken into consideration is the Non Resident Tax. Plusvalia Tax is taken when the property is transferred to other people, given as gift or death duty in case of death of the owner.
A local property solicitor named Rafael Berdaguer made a thorough study on the New Property Tax Laws. He found plenty of errors in the revised pattern of Tax Rates.
Mr. Berdaguer was surprised to note that the authorities make common mistakes of including social places in personal property valuations. The homeowners suffer from such excess taxable amounts of common areas. Such action can raise the Spanish real estate value to about 50 percent more than actual value prevailing in the market.
Berdaguer was seriously concerned about the impact of such huge mistakes on the struggling homeowners. He suggested the homeowners to raise their voices against such issues immediately to cut down the Tax Rates. They must bring such increased taxable values in the eyes of the authorities without wasting time.
The authorities dealing with Tax revisions have made mistakes constantly. The house price has multiplied to about 5 times than 1988 value. The homeowners must not stay calm about such errors. They must intimate such huge mistake to the authority to save the hard earned cash. They must not fall prey in the hands of mistaken calculations.
The homeowners having loads of questions and perplexed about the tax increase situation are free to contact this solicitor at www.berdageurabogados.com
