No, no black money; a straightforward completion; paid the balance of the contract purchase price. The title deeds and the contract  show the same value 240.000 but " for the Junta (surveyor) the value is 290.000" as per the message from our lawyer.  This is not our first purchase in Spain but this extra tax - "compensation" is a first. Is this legal???

Has anyone any information that might shed light on a 'demand' for extra taxes of over 500 euros described as "because the Junta de Andalucia considers that the value of your property is higher than the value that appears on the title deeds" The property mentioned is a new apartment bought off-plan in 2003 and completed in Jan 2008 hence the value on the deeds is the actual sale price - or am I missing something?? The total cost was 240.000 whereas the Junta has decided its value is 290.000 - if only!

Is this a query for Maria del Castro or have we missed some key legislation that allows the Junta to re-value property as & when it suits to raise extra 'taxes'

Has anyone received a request (demand!) from their lawyer for extra taxes as "compensation because the Junta de Andalucia considers that the value of your property is higher than the value that appears on the title deeds" The amount demanded is over 500 euros however as Calanova was an off-plan completion the value on the deeds is the actual full sale value - this is mystifying. Anyone shed any light?

We have just received the costs breakdown for completion. Amongst the items is 500 euros for Plus Valia.  This is a land tax related to the increase in the value of the land. It is usually paid by the developer (as they are the beneficiaries of any uplift) Does anyone know whether the Private Contract states that the purchaser must pay the plus valia or 'todos los gastos' (all the charges)  Has anyone else received an itemised breakdown containing this charge? Also, the amount of 500 euros feels high compared to other instances where it's been in 2 figures not 3.

The Private Contract for Calanova seems, at best, more than a little one-sided.
