I just wonder if there's anyone else that has been clobbered for this Property Revaluation Tax?
It's something the authorities can do if you paid under the asking price of your property, they can invoice you up to 4 years after the purchase for their missing 10% on the difference between the paid price and the agent's selling price.
I paid 30,000€ under, so they want nearly 3,000€ out of me and so far, I've found no way around it.
Is this just for the English I wonder?
I hate the thought of being discriminated against, but I don't think the Spanish would pay it, they'd just ignore it I guess and just not pay BUT, I further guess there would then be an embargo on the property in question and the sum would increase at a percentage and further fines for non-payment?
I'd appreciate anyone telling me of their experience with this so called 'tax' which, to my mind, seems to be a scam? Surely, an item for sale, (either big or small) is only worth what someone's willing to pay for it and if they get a bargain, then it's bully for them, it happens with just about any sale.
I might add that this revaluation tax was never pointed out to me at all when purchasing my property 4 years ago, plus it seems that estate agents and some solicitors know nothing about it - how convenient!
