At the hearing the judge agreed that a loss had been incorred, but his judgement conveyed to our lawyer was :-

the resolution of our request for the return of the amount paid as Plusvalía tax. Unfortunately, the judge has dismissed our request due to the most recent doctrine of the Supreme Court of 18 may 2020, in which the Supreme court considered that the security of the administrative acts cannot be attacked by means of invoking the unconstitutionality of the articles annulled by the Constitutional Court, so that acts done before that ruling must prevail as firm acts.

Unfortunately this supreme court ruling came almost two years after the filing of our claim, this change of direction was unexpected and have set to fail several of our cases.

This decision may not be appealed, as the amount claimed is less than 30.000€

In other words protect the Council

In November 2015 we sold our flat at a loss, but were still charged plus valia.

The Council ignored both us and our solicitors request for a refund under the law as enacted by the Court in Malaga.

The case which was lodged in 2018, was finally heard in December 2020 and we have today heard that the Supreme Court changed the law in March 2020, two years after our claim so that the rights of the Councils are protected.

To add insult it appears that we may have to pay the Council's costs

Don't forget UK tax

If you rent out your Spanish appartment or house you will have to declare any income to the UK tax authorities as well as the Spanish.

Do not ignore this as there is now fairly close cooperation between the two tax authorities and the Revenue scan the letting adverts.

YOU have been warned
