tax question
Hello,
I'm thinking of moving out to the Valencia region in the new year and have a question... Is there a council tax equivalent payable to the authorities? IBI, I think?? On most of the property for sale websites it has doesn't mention anything. I will be looking to rent for about a year initially and wondered whether it would mine or the landlord/owners responsibilty to pay the tax? Any replies would be appreciated. Thanks Jack |

Re: tax question
Also note that it is likely to be between €100 and €300 for the YEAR, including rubbish removal!
Just a little bit different from the UK!:rofl: Regards Tim |
Re: tax question
Thanks for the quick responses.
Will be a nice change from the 1200 GBP I'm currently paying. |

Re: tax question
Ours is 54 Euros a year plus 23 Euros every 2 months for rubbish collection.

Re: tax question
we live on an urbanisation, and pay about 90 Euros a year, the rubbish collection is paid through our urbanisation fees.

Seriously though, does any one know how this is calculated or how one can complain? |
Re: tax question
snikpoh,
My God, that's expensive! Does anyone know if this tax is calculated on amount of owned land? Our house has 10,000m2 - getting a little bit worried! Best, bchapl |

Re: tax question
There is litttle rhyme nor reason for the way IBI is calculated.
Well that's not actually true because the tax is a given factor multiplied by the Catastral value. It's these figures that vary enormously from place to place. We have 8000m2 of rustic land on which we built a house. The tax on the land is based on a factor of 0.7% of the catastral value which is 145 Euros (how I wish that's what I paid for it!). That makes 10 Euros. The house has a Catastral value of 43000 Euros. The Urban IBI rate is 0.9% so I pay another 387 Euros. This value is a joke as the house cost nearly 8times that to build and is worth a lot more. In other areas the Catastral value might be higher and the % rate lower. |

Yes they do seem to have a crazy way of calculating the valor catastral, we bought our plot in Feb paying €130,000 for it and within a few weeks on the catastral website the value was listed as €30,000. I then tried to arrange to pay any taxes due but was told that it would take about 2 years for the Ayntamiento to list us as taxable. I have since read that you do not pay tax on a plot only on the house and land when it is finished. We will have to register the house on the plot when it is complete and I suppose that will affect the catastral value but if they manage to stick to a 25% valuation I will not mind one bit. Regards, John. |
