Can Canadian citizens buy property in Calpe?

Yes, there are no restrictions on Canadian citizens purchasing property in Spain. You will need to obtain an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) and open a Spanish bank account. Our firm handles the entire NIE application process on your behalf.

What taxes will I pay when buying property in Calpe?

For resale properties, you pay ITP (Transfer Tax) at 10% in the Valencian Community. For new builds, VAT (IVA) is 10% plus 1.5% stamp duty. Additional costs include notary fees, Land Registry fees, and legal fees. We provide a complete cost breakdown before you commit.

Do I need to report my Spanish property to the CRA?

Yes, Canadian tax residents must report foreign property with a cost exceeding CAD $100,000 on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement). Rental income must also be declared. The Canada-Spain tax treaty provides mechanisms to avoid double taxation through foreign tax credits.

Do I need to be in Spain to complete the purchase?

No. With a power of attorney, we can represent you at the notary for completion. This is especially convenient for Canadian clients managing the process from abroad. The POA can be signed at your nearest Spanish consulate in Canada.

How long does a property purchase take in Calpe?

A typical purchase takes 6-10 weeks from signing the reservation contract to completion at the notary. The timeline includes obtaining your NIE, completing legal due diligence, and coordinating with all parties involved.

Should I make a Spanish will for my Calpe property?

Absolutely. A Spanish will covering your Spanish assets avoids the need for complex international probate proceedings. It speeds up the inheritance process significantly and works alongside your Canadian will for your assets in Canada.
