What is Spanish Wealth Tax?

The Spanish Wealth Tax, or Impuesto sobre el Patrimonio, is a tax that is levied on the net worth of individuals. The tax applies to individuals who have assets with a value of €700,000 or more. This article aims to provide an overview of the Spanish Wealth Tax system, including regional variances and exemptions.

The tax is levied on individuals with a net worth of €700,000 or more. The tax rates range from 0.2% to 3.5%, depending on the value of the taxpayer’s net assets.
