In 2024, in the Region of Murcia, the Transfer Tax (ITP) is set at 8%, applied to the sale or market value of the property, with the buyer being responsible for its payment. In addition to the general rate of 8%, there are reduced rates and exemptions, such as 3% for young people under 35 years of age who purchase their first habitual residence for a value not exceeding 150,000 euros.
Let us suppose that we want to acquire a property in the Region of Murcia for a value of 100,000 euros.
EXPENSES TO BE CONSIDERED in the REGION OF MURCIA:
- Transfer Tax (ITP): 8% of the value of the property.
- Notary and Registry fees: Estimated at 2% of the value of the property.
CALCULATION OF EXPENSES:
- PT: 8% of 100.000€ = 8.000€.
- Notary and Registry fees: Estimated at 2% of the value of the property.
TOTAL EXPENSES:
- ITP + Notary and Registry fees = 8.000€ + 2.000€ = 10.000€.
Then, in order to be able to acquire the property, we must have at least 10.000 euros saved to cover the associated expenses.
In the Valencian Community in 2024, the Transfer Tax (ITP) is set at 10%, calculated on the sale or market value of the property, being the responsibility of the buyer its payment. In addition to the general rate of 10%, there are reduced rates and exemptions, such as 6% for young people under 35 years of age who buy their first habitual residence for a value not exceeding 180,000 euros.
Now let us suppose that we want to purchase a home worth 100,000 euros in the Valencian Community.
EXPENSES TO BE CONSIDERED in the VALENCIAN COMMUNITY:
- Transfer Tax (ITP): 10% of the value of the property.
- Notary and Registry fees: Estimated at 2% of the value of the property.
CALCULATION OF THE EXPENSES:
- ITP: 10% of 100.000€ = 10.000€.
- Notary and Registry fees: 2% of 100.000€ = 2.000€.
TOTAL EXPENSES:
- ITP + Notary and Registry fees = 10.000€ + 2.000€ = 12.000€.
So, in order to be able to purchase the property, we must have at least 12,000 euros saved to cover the associated expenses, and it is advisable to have an additional amount as a reserve and to cover other possible unforeseen expenses related to the purchase of the property.

The main activities of these companies include:
| 01. Foreign Exchange

Paying for homes with cryptocurrencies involves using decentralized digital currencies, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, to conduct real estate transactions. This process generally involves the seller and buyer agreeing to use cryptocurrencies as a form of payment. To carry out the transaction, an equivalent value in cryptocurrencies for the property must be established, considering price fluctuations. It is important to have specialized legal and financial advice to ensure a secure and legally valid transaction.

Law 14/2013, of September 27, on support for entrepreneurs and their internationalization, introduces in Spain a new type of visa and residence permit for investors known as Golden Visa.

Types of Golden Visa
The different types of investments included in the law as a way to obtain the stay and residence visa form a group around the concept of significant investment, considering as significant those that meet any of the following assumptions.
- An investment equal to or greater than 2 million euros in Spanish public debt securities.
- With the purpose of acquiring shares of Spanish companies, or bank deposits in Spanish financial entities, for an amount equal to or greater than one million euros.
- Consisting of the acquisition of real estate assets valued at 500,000 euros or more.
- For the purpose of developing a business project in Spain considered and confirmed as being of general interest due to meeting one of the following requirements: job creation; making an investment with a relevant socioeconomic impact; relevant contribution to scientific and/or technological innovation. In case of being carried out by a legal entity, it cannot have its registered address in a tax haven and the applicant must have the majority of the votes.
This last assumption is considered by law as a different type of significant investment due to its amount, since the obtaining of the visa is determined by reasons of social importance or other economic benefits not financially valued in money or capital. Also included within this range are highly qualified professionals and those who carry out transactions within the same company.
It is a new type of residence visa, established by Law 14/2013, of September 27, aimed at those non-resident foreigners who wish to enter Spanish territory to make a significant capital investment.
The law distinguishes two big groups. The capital investments (in public debt, social shares of Spanish companies, bank deposits in Spanish financial entities and through the acquisition of real estate assets) and other kind of investments (creation of a company of general interest, high qualified professionals and transactions within the same company).
