As a non-resident is there any way round having to pay capital gains tax on selling a house in Spain even when I would be buying another, more expensive one also in Spain.
-
I can’t think of any way, though becoming resident should get you off the hook. This can open up a tax can of worms, mind, depending on where else you are claiming residency!

Note that the Spanish Government quietly put up CGT this year from 19pc to 21pc.
-
There aren’t going to be too many people paying CGT if they bought in the last 8~10 years and are selling now, once prices are adjusted for inflation!

JP1, that is what you think. The Spanish Tax man has his/valution. There are threads on this.
