Discover All Your Tax Opportunities<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p data-start=\"223\" data-end=\"627\">The rental market in Catalonia is constantly evolving, and understanding the tax implications is key for any property owner. Under current legislation, especially after the approval of Law 12\/2023 on the Right to Housing, options may vary significantly depending on the landlord\u2019s profile. Below, we break down the main situations and their tax effects.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"629\" data-end=\"662\"><strong>Individual Landlords<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 data-start=\"664\" data-end=\"715\"><strong data-start=\"664\" data-end=\"715\">Small landlord (fewer than 5 urban properties):<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"717\" data-end=\"850\">The new law introduces significant changes in personal income tax (IRPF) reductions on net rental income from habitual residences:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"852\" data-end=\"1393\">\n<li data-start=\"852\" data-end=\"1002\">\n<p data-start=\"854\" data-end=\"1002\"><strong data-start=\"854\" data-end=\"884\">General 50% reduction<\/strong>: when the property is rented for the first time and the price respects the limits established in stressed areas.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1003\" data-end=\"1128\">\n<p data-start=\"1005\" data-end=\"1128\"><strong data-start=\"1005\" data-end=\"1027\">70% reduction<\/strong>: if the new tenant is between 18 and 35 years old and the property is in a stressed market area.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1129\" data-end=\"1269\">\n<p data-start=\"1131\" data-end=\"1269\"><strong data-start=\"1131\" data-end=\"1153\">90% reduction<\/strong>: if the new contract is signed in a stressed area and the rental price is at least 5% lower than the previous contract.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1270\" data-end=\"1393\">\n<p data-start=\"1272\" data-end=\"1393\"><strong data-start=\"1272\" data-end=\"1294\">60% reduction<\/strong>: if the property has undergone a rehabilitation that meets the requirements of the IRPF Law.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1395\" data-end=\"1474\">These reductions are not cumulative; only the most advantageous one can be applied.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1476\" data-end=\"1750\">In addition, the owner may deduct all necessary expenses for obtaining income (IBI, community fees, insurance, loan interest, repairs, depreciation, etc.). They must also pay local taxes such as IBI and any applicable municipal fees.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1752\" data-end=\"1797\"><strong data-start=\"1752\" data-end=\"1797\">Large landlord (5 or more urban properties):<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1799\" data-end=\"1982\">In designated stressed areas, they are required to respect the reference indexes and cannot exceed the rent of the previous contract, which limits their profitability.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1984\" data-end=\"2137\">Nonetheless, they may access the same IRPF reductions on net income as small landlords if renting for habitual residence purposes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2139\" data-end=\"2360\">They may also deduct expenses and are subject to the same local taxes as other owners. It is important to note they are under greater scrutiny and face a higher risk of administrative penalties.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Legal Entities (Companies)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2399\" data-end=\"2543\">Rental income is taxed under Corporate Tax, with a general rate of 25%, lower than the maximum IRPF marginal rate.<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2545\" data-end=\"3115\">\n<li data-start=\"2545\" data-end=\"2649\">\n<p data-start=\"2547\" data-end=\"2649\"><strong data-start=\"2547\" data-end=\"2581\">Small-sized companies<\/strong> may apply reduced rates on the initial income brackets.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2650\" data-end=\"2786\">\n<p data-start=\"2652\" data-end=\"2786\"><strong data-start=\"2652\" data-end=\"2673\">Deductible expenses<\/strong>: all those related to the rental activity (financial, repairs, depreciation, taxes&#8230;).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2787\" data-end=\"2951\">\n<p data-start=\"2789\" data-end=\"2951\"><strong data-start=\"2789\" data-end=\"2796\">VAT<\/strong>: Renting to individuals is VAT-exempt.
