28/10/2007 - Paul Lewis - Question - Wealth Tax.
Hello
 
After reading your Spanish taxation guide, I have concerns that I have not paid Wealth tax on my holiday property in Spain. I own an apartment in Galicia which was purchased off-plan in 2002 and the escritura signed in November 2004. The property was purchased for 124,000 euros and is now valued at 240,000 euros. As non-residents, how do I pay this tax? I am concerned that I have not been contacted officially by the authorities to pay this tax. Please advise how I should proceed.
 
*** In addition I have a mortgage of 60,000 euros against this property - I currently owe 56,000 euros. Is this deductible from the taxable value?
 
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
 
With thanks and regards.
 
Paul Lewis
