Revenue, regardless of whether they are a resident for tax purposes in Spain. <strong>This withholding is a payment on account of the seller\u2019s tax on the gain obtained from the

of the withholding tax. This allows the seller to deduct the withholding from the tax payable when declaring the capital gain. If the amount withheld exceeds the tax finally payable, <strong>the excess is refundable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Responsibility_for_payment_of_the_withholding_tax\"><\/span>Responsibility for payment of the withholding tax<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the withheld tax is not paid, the liability for the tax is attached to the property. Therefore, purchasers must ensure they withhold 3% of the purchase price. If they fail to do so, the Inland Revenue could request this amount in the future from the <strong>new owners of the property<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.malagasolicitors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/luxury-investment-malaga-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"luxury investment in malaga, spain.
