PURCHASE TAX & STRUCTURING

Structure your purchase before you sign.

We look beyond the purchase price to understand the tax implications of how you buy, own and eventually transfer your property.

Purchase Tax & Structuring

The real cost of buying and the right structure to buy through.

The best time to structure a purchase is before you sign.

Why it matters

The right structure starts with the full picture.

A property purchase in Spain is not only about the tax due at closing. Who acquires the property, how ownership is structured and how the purchase is financed can have significant tax consequences for years to come.

We consider your tax residence, family circumstances, existing assets, financing and long-term plans before advising on the appropriate structure — whether acquiring individually, jointly, with family members or through a company, and whether financing should form part of that structure.

Our aim is simple: to ensure that the way you buy fits the way you intend to own, use and eventually transfer the property.
