3K is quite a hit, Jimbofinn. Was that the cost for the solicitor & legal charges? Can I ask how long approximately did it take for the process to change the name on the deeds?

Thanks for the reply.

I get the NRT as that's a non-resident illegal tax which is going through the EU court process. So like you, I have continued to pay this now at the higher rate. 

 I believe it might be a different case with the selling of a house in Spain, as the law will be well established.

So I am hoping a solicitor/legal expert or someone who has gone through the process with the same situation as myself might be able to let me know if I can reduce the CGT as I laid out as it makes quite a difference.

If I am the sole EU citizen on the deeds, I believe that I can not be discriminated against compared to any Spanish seller it is against EU law. As you point out, I really need confirmation, worse case scenario is I will have to pay for legal advice. Just thought that many people must have gone through the same selling process since Brexit changed the rules.

The deeds on my Spanish property have both myself & my wife's name on it in 2005. We were both UK passport holders at that time.

I have an Irish passport & my wife has still got a UK passport.

I know that the capital tax for EU citizens is 19.5% while it is 25% for UK citizens.

Therefore, is it necessary for me to get the name changed to me solely on the Deeds? Or does the fact that I am an EU citizen mean that I will get the lower rate for CGT?

If I do need to change the deed's name to my name only do I have to use a solicitor for this & how long is the process, usually take?

Many thanks for any assistance anyone can give.

I have been told that the Canaries are an autonomous region and have different tax laws. Therefore the now abolished wealth tax did not apply to the Canaries. Was this correct? As I paid it for several years before it was abolished on the advice of a Spanish abogado. If he advised me incorrectly then I should be able to reclaim from him the tax or at least his charges or approach his professional authority and have him denounced.
