Raso Investments advises private investors, families and international clients who buy, hold, let or sell property in Mallorca, and who move to Spain or plan the transfer of their assets to the next generation. Most of our clients come from abroad, so we focus on the points where Spanish law and tax rules differ from those of their home countries and where early advice makes the greatest difference.
Investing in Mallorca combines property law, planning rules, tourist letting regulations, Spanish and international tax, immigration law and succession. Each of these areas affects the others: the way a villa is acquired influences the tax on its rental income, its eventual sale and its inheritance; moving to the island changes the owner’s tax residency; and the legal status of a building determines what can be renovated or let. The pages below explain each topic in plain English, so that you can prepare the right questions before taking a decision.
The information on these pages is general and reflects the regulations currently in force. Tax rules in particular depend on each person’s circumstances and may change, so every case is reviewed individually. To ask about a specific transaction, write to us at info@raso.law, describing the operation and the property concerned.
