2018 Wealth Tax

4.2.1. A) Real estate of an urban nature

This section must describe the urban property owned by the declarant.

EVALUATION RULES

Urban real estate, as well as rights over these assets acquired under timeshare contracts, part-time ownership or similar formulas, provided that they involve partial ownership of the property, will be computed using as a reference the highest value of the following three:

  • Cadastral value stated in the receipt for the 2018 Real Estate Tax.
  • Value verified by the Administration for the purposes of other taxes.
  • Price, consideration or acquisition value that will be the result of adding to the actual acquisition amount the cost of investments and improvements as well as expenses and taxes inherent to the acquisition, excluding interest, that have been paid by the purchaser.

Leased properties

Leased urban properties will be valued according to the general rule mentioned above.

However, homes and business premises whose lease contracts were signed prior to May 9, 1985, will be valued by capitalizing the accrued annual rent at 4%, when the result of this operation is lower than the valuation resulting from the application of the previous rules.

For these purposes, the following formula may be used to calculate said capitalization:

Capitalization = annual accrued income * (100/4)

Right of bare ownership

The value of the right of bare ownership will be calculated by the difference between the total value of the property and the value of the usufruct that has been established on it.

In the event that the real right that falls on the property is a life usufruct, which in turn is temporary, the bare ownership will be valued, applying the rules for valuing usufruct, that which attributes the lowest value to the bare ownership.

To determine the value of the usufruct established on the property, see the valuation rules contained in section “M. Real rights of use and enjoyment.

Properties under construction

When urban real estate is under construction, the assets value will be estimated as the amounts that have actually been invested in said construction up to the date of accrual of the Tax, in addition to the corresponding assets value of the land.

In the case of horizontal property, the proportional part in the value of the land will be determined according to the percentage set in the title.

COMPLETION

The habitual residence of the taxpayer who meets the conditions to benefit on the date of accrual of the Tax from the exemption up to the maximum amount of 300,000 euros will be declared in this section.
