The law firm can represent your interests in negotiations that require an experienced lawyer or solicitor in Malaga who is fluent in Spanish and English. In case you need to complete a simple bureaucratic procedure while being abroad, a power of attorney (poder notarial) will allow us to us sign official documents on your behalf.
If you are searching for a reliable firm of solicitors in Malaga feel free to contact our team and we will study your case, whether:
Our property lawyers will guide you through your entire property purchasing process all the way until completion. We handle all the paperwork from debts to taxes, until everything has been handed over and finalised at the Notary Office and your property has been added to the land registry. We also make sure that your property is legal and free of extra charges, whilst the architect takes care of the urbanistic situation of the property, and the tax advisor aids you in all of the necessary taxes involved before and after completion.
We also advise our clients of the overall cost of buying a property in Spain, providing the total cost from the beginning with total transparency. At the end of the entire process, we will send our clients a final bill, where all tax and expenses are paid. If there is a leftover balance, we send the money directly back to you.
If you are selling a property, our property lawyers can give advice on all of the relevant taxes you will be expected to pay, as well as provide you with a guide on the cost of selling. Our solicitors can act as a negotiator on your behalf for the conditions of your property sale, representing you from start to finish.
We ensure that our expatriate clients avoid double taxation, providing the latest advice and information on the double taxation agreement between Spain and your country of origin.
We also provide our clients with all the necessary information and documents relating to tax in Spain, including tax returns, non-resident tax and form 720. We adapt these resources depending on whether our client is a fiscal or non-fiscal resident.
The NIE Number (identification number used in Spain for foreigners) is absolutely necessary for foreigners in order to be able to do certain things such as open a bank account or buy a house etc. It is also the identification that the Spanish Tax Office will use when receiving your non-resident tax payments.
It is important to note that clients can obtain an NIE in Spain without becoming a Spanish resident. An NIE does not allow you to legally reside in Spain.
The Spanish Golden Visa is a global investment plan that issues residency for non-EU citizens who purchase a property in Spanish territory (with an investment of €500,000 or above).
Under the Law of Entrepreneurs, this is an opportunity for non-EU citizens (such as USA, Canada, Arab Emirates, and so on) to invest in Spanish real estate, usually in high-demand areas in Costa del Sol, in return for the acquisition of Spanish residency for themselves and their families. The purchasing process also provides business opportunities, including leasing and tourist rental.
Inheritance tax concerns everyone in Spain; both residents and non-residents. The tax, often referred to as ISD (impuesto de sucesiones y donaciones), becomes payable as soon as an inheritance from a family member or friend is documented – this can be money, property or an asset.
The rules of inheritance tax vary depending on which area of Spain you live in. At Tejada Solicitors, we offer a guide on inheritance tax from the succession law to inheritance tax rates, specifically tailored to your needs.
We provide answers to common inheritance tax queries, such as inheritance tax rates for non-residents and how to reduce your inheritance tax. You can find these answers and more through this page: Inheritance tax in Spain.
There are two ways properties can be rented in Spain, under contracts. Short-term rental contracts (viviendas de uso turístico) are used for work and leisure purposes, whilst long-term rental contracts are considered as permanent homes for the renter.
Long-term rentals come under national law, and, depending on the area in which the property is located, short-term rentals may have regional legislations that apply to the contracts. In some areas, this includes obtaining a license granting you the right to rent for touristic purposes, such as in Andalucia.
Any owner who is renting out their property (both long-term and short-term) must pay tax. Tax rates will vary depending on your circumstances, such as whether you are fiscal or non-fiscal resident. In order to learn more, please visit this page: Renting out a property in Spain.
