In this article in collaboration with Lionsgate Capital, we discuss key points about mortgages in Mallorca for HNW and UHNW individuals.

The Wealth Tax in the Balearic Islands

When investing in a luxury property in Mallorca, there are important aspects to consider, the main one being the Wealth Tax. In the Balearic Islands this tax affects all individuals, whether they are tax residents in Spain or not. Non-residents are entitled to an individual tax deduction of up to 700,000 euros per person after which Wealth Tax applies. It is calculated on each individual’s net assets on the 31st of December each year and ranges between 0.28% for net assets of less than 170,742 euros to 3.45% for those whose net assets are equal to or greater than 10,909,915 euros, and it must be paid every year!

The good news is that mortgages are deductible for Wealth Tax purposes. This is possible as long as the mortgage is in place at the time of purchase. For this reason, it makes sense for all buyers to finance, even if they have the funds available. We at Private Property Mallorca are proud to partner with experts in financing, such as Lionsgate Capital, who can help you understand the different options available and how you can maximize your return on investment.

Other advantages of mortgaging

Another good reason to finance the purchase of your property is to maintain liquidity. If you purchase the property with a mortgage in Mallorca, you can diversify your portfolio and continue to invest in other areas that generate higher returns. In addition, it is important to know that in Spain it is not common to release equity after the purchase of the property, therefore, to maintain liquidity and to make the most of the tax advantages, it makes sense to finance at the time of purchase. In the end, it is all about making the maths work in your favour!
