Taxes and expenses
For the purchase of this property at a price of €875,000, the buyer must pay in Catalonia the Property Transfer Tax (ITP) according to the currently applicable progressive system.
This tax is calculated in brackets. On the first €600,000, a rate of 10% is applied, which amounts to €60,000. On the next tranche up to €900,000, that is €275,000, a rate of 11% is applied, which equals €30,250.
Therefore, the total ITP payable would be €90,250.
To this tax must be added the usual costs of formalizing the purchase, such as notary, land registry and, where applicable, administrative fees, which usually range between €1,500 and €2,000 in total.
Consequently, the buyer should expect total costs of around €95,000, meaning that the total estimated outlay to acquire the property for €875,000 would be around €970,000 including taxes and expenses.
