This covers the estate agent fee (3-5% + VAT), legal fees (around 1% + VAT), an Energy Performance Certificate (EUR 150-450), the Cedula de Habitabilidad (EUR 150-300), municipal Plusvalia tax, and mortgage cancellation costs (0.5-1%) if a mortgage is still registered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_capital_gains_tax_do_I_pay_when_selling_a_property_in_Spain\"><\/span>How much capital gains tax do I pay when selling a property in Spain?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spanish residents are taxed on a progressive scale from 19% to 30% (the top tier applies to gains above EUR 300,000). EU\/EEA non-residents pay a flat 19%, while non-EU non-residents (such as UK and USA sellers) pay a flat 24%. CGT is charged on the profit between your adjusted purchase price and the final sale price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_3_retencion_for_non-resident_sellers\"><\/span>What is the 3% retencion for non-resident sellers?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are a non-resident, the buyer is legally required to withhold 3% of the total purchase price and pay it directly to the Spanish Tax Office (Hacienda) as an advance on your Capital Gains Tax.

In 2026 you can choose between the Real Value method (actual profit on the land) or the Objective Method (a formula based on the cadastral value).

Properties with an EPC rating of A, B or C are selling up to 12% faster than F or G rated homes, and they let buyers access lower-rate green mortgages.
