EVALUATION RULES

Real rights of use and enjoyment will be valued according to the criteria indicated in the Tax on Property Transfers and Documented Legal Acts, taking, where applicable, as a reference the value assigned to the asset in accordance with the valuation rules of the Wealth Tax.

  1. Temporary usufruct

    The value of the temporary usufruct will be estimated proportionally to the total value of the property, at a rate of 2% for each one-year period, without exceeding 70%. That is to say:

    (2*number of years remaining in the usufruct)% * total value of the property; with a maximum of 70 percent.

    For the calculation of the value of temporary usufruct, time fractions of less than a year will not be taken into account, although usufruct for a period of less than a year will be computed at 2% of the value of the assets.

  2. Usufruct for life

    In the case of life usufructs, the value will be estimated to be equal to 70% of the total value of the property when the usufructuary is less than twenty years old, decreasing as age increases in the proportion of 1% less for each additional year with a minimum limit of 10% of the total value of the property. That is to say:

    [ 70 - (age of the taxpayer on the date of accrual of the Tax) ‑ 19 years)]% x total value of the property; with a minimum of 10 percent.

  3. Use rights and room

    The value of the rights of use and habitation shall be calculated by applying the rules corresponding to the valuation of temporary or life usufructs, as the case may be, to 75% of the value of the assets on which they were imposed.

    Rights to use real estate in turn

    The rights to timeshare use of real estate, whatever their nature, as well as other rights or similar formulas that do not entail partial ownership of the property, shall be valued at the purchase price of the certificates or other titles representing said rights.

  4. Other real rights of use or enjoyment

    Real rights not included in the previous sections will be computed by the capital, price or value that the parties had agreed upon when establishing them, provided that it is greater than or equal to that resulting from capitalizing the annual income or pension at 3% (legal interest rate of money in force on the date of accrual of this Tax).
