About the service

What is the Wealth Tax in Spain?

Wealth Tax in Spain (Impuesto sobre el Patrimonio) is an annual tax levied not on your income, but on your net assets. Understanding and planning for it is crucial for high-net-worth individuals moving to or investing in Spain.

The key factor is your tax residency. If you are a Spanish tax resident, you are liable for this tax on your worldwide assets. If you are a non-resident, you are only taxed on your assets located in Spain.

The tax has generous exemptions. There is a general tax-free allowance of €700,000, plus an additional €300,000 exemption for your main home in Spain.

Crucially, Wealth Tax is managed by the autonomous regions, leading to huge differences. Some regions, like Madrid and Andalusia, offer a 100% tax relief, effectively eliminating the tax for residents there. Other regions apply their own rates and allowances.

To counter these regional reliefs, the central government created the temporary “Solidarity Tax on Large Fortunes”. This is a state-level wealth tax that only affects individuals with a net worth over €3 million, and any regional wealth tax paid can be deducted.

Proactive planning is everything. The strategies to legally structure your assets and mitigate this tax are most effective when implemented before you become a tax resident in Spain.

Our expertise is in providing this critical foresight. We analyze your complete asset portfolio, determine the optimal residency location based on your profile, and design asset-holding structures that are fully compliant and tax-efficient.

We provide a clear roadmap to navigate the complexities of the Spanish Wealth Tax, giving you control and peace of mind over your financial future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience working with Dario and his team throughout my visa process. They made everything completely stress-free and were incredibly helpful every step of the way. Dario speaks excellent English, which made communication easy and comfortable, and he was always responsive, patient, and clear in explaining everything. He and his colleagues handled every detail with care, efficiency, and in a very timely manner, which gave me a lot of confidence and truly made my life so much easier throughout the entire process. By far the best lawyer I’ve worked with in Barcelona. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Dario and his team to anyone needing help with visas or immigration.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A friend recommended Illay Legal  to help obtain my permanent residency in Spain. Exceptional service! Marc explained every part of the process clearly and precisely. Once I provided all the necessary details, the team did all the work: pre-completed the necessary paperwork, helped retrieve padron and digital tax certificate, secured appointments in my preferred neighbourhood and checked in with me before and after both appointments. I subsequently switched both my tax and business accountancy contracts to Marc's firm and have enjoyed the same very high level of service. Communication via email and WhatsApp, and extremely responsive to answering any small or large questions/concerns. A huge endorsement to the whole team - I would highly reccomend. Regards Ismail

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lawyers I truly trust and genuinely enjoy working with. Huge thanks to Marc and Soundous for guiding me through a very stressful documentation process over the past few years. Together we managed to resolve a complicated situation I ended up in because of a bureaucratic issue with my previous paperwork. They have well-organized processes and a lot of experience with different kinds of cases — even the tricky ones. Whenever I was stressed or freaking out, they were always there to reassure and support me. That human approach means a lot. With them, you are in very good hands 💚

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the Wealth Tax in Spain

Do I really have to pay Wealth Tax in Madrid or Andalusia?

No. Both regions have a 100% relief, which means that although you might be technically liable, your final payment is zero. However, you might still be obligated to file the declaration if your gross assets exceed €2 million.

What is the "Solidarity Tax on Large Fortunes"?

It is a temporary state-level tax that acts as a minimum wealth tax across Spain. It only applies to net wealth exceeding €3 million. What you pay for your regional Wealth Tax (if anything) is deducted from this, so you don’t pay twice.

Are my pension plans subject to Wealth Tax?

Generally, no. Pension plans and similar social security instruments are typically exempt from Wealth Tax until you start receiving payments from them, making them an efficient asset-holding vehicle.

When should I start planning for Wealth Tax?

Before you become a tax resident in Spain. The most effective asset protection and structuring strategies must be implemented while you are still a non-resident. Once you become a tax resident, your options are much more limited.

Do non-residents have to pay Wealth Tax?

Yes, but only on their net assets located in Spain. The €700,000 tax-free allowance also applies to non-residents. If you own a property worth more than this, you will likely have a filing obligation.
