The €10,000 for the furniture is not unreasonable, it is very high quality and cost around €30,000 

it it is not a method to reduce IVA ...

Hello, 

My apartment buyer is concerned that he may have to Pay tax on my furniture bought separately. He wishes to pay directly into my bank account. 

Will the the authorities see a €10,000 deposit and then come after us. All the furniture is second hand.

I am a President in Marbella of 150 apartments. I live here full time and have turned the urbanisation around from a neglected filthy place to one of the best in Nueva Andalucia. I work tirelessly for the community. The old President, board and administrator did nothing leaving a beautiful new complex to ruin in 4 years. 

It was a very difficult process to remove them all. Involving lawyers, proxies etc, etc... A nightmare... I wrote to each owner and slipped my proxy request under the door. I recorded on my iPad the AGM and the game was up for them. They forbid me to record but I kept on doing it. They were counting votes from empty seats. When everyone saw that they were cheating the game was up and I was voted President, but I took a long time to transfer the post as they did " what every they had to do to tidy up the books ". I found an excellent administrator. And proceeded to fire all the staff bar one and the slow process of removing the contractors began. The complex is now wonderful.

Being President here has been a full time job. I do not get my fees paid but I certainly feel that even if I did it would not be enough. What I am really saying is that it depends how committed and hard working your President is. To sleep at night knowing that you have a good 'honest' person looking after your home is priceless. Unfortunately many are not, they work with the administrator and get up to all sorts of funny business. Some just like the title. 

To to do the job properly and conscientiously is extremely difficult for an often ungrateful and complaining community. Fortunately I have great support and yes I do have more Proxis than people who attend the meetings but we have just held our AGM yesterday and all matters were passed without their use. Our AGM have turned into a civilised dignified affair, a far cry from the past. 

I now now feel I can leave the post to someone else. It is spoiling the enjoyment of our apartment and we have decided to sell. 

It is unfortunate but ' in Spain ' we have decided that communal life is not for us. 

I wish you well 

Tom ...

We are selling our apartment and on paper it looks as if we have a small profit but if we count the 7% IVA we paid then we have large loss. 

For spanish capital gains tax purposes. Do they take the figure inclusive of IVA as the base purchase price or do they take the price before IVA is added. 

It would affect us in that if they took the inclusive figure we would not have any capital gains tax to pay at all.

Thank you
