The municipal capital gains tax, officially the **Tax on the Increase in Value of Urban Land (IIVTNU)**, is a local tax levied on the increase in value of a property’s urban land from the time it was bought until it is sold, inherited or gifted. It is collected by each **town council**, so both the coefficients and the tax rate **vary from one town to another**. That is why two homes sold for the same amount can generate a very different tax depending on whether they are in Alella, Mataró or Premià de Mar. ## Calculate your municipal capital gains tax Enter the purchase and sale details of your home and the town where it is located to get an instant estimate. Purchase price (€) Year of purchase Sale price (€) Year of sale Total cadastral value (€) Cadastral value of the land (€) Calculate capital gains tax **Approximate** calculation for your town: this is an estimate that may not match the actual amount and **does not constitute tax advice or an official calculation**. The maximum legal tax rate (30%) is applied; depending on the town it may be lower. The final amount depends on the municipal ordinance in force and the exact cadastral data. For an exact calculation, check with your town council or a tax adviser. ## How is the municipal capital gains tax calculated? Since the 2021 reform there are **two methods** of calculation, and whichever is more favourable to the taxpayer is applied: **1. Objective system.** The cadastral value of the land is multiplied by a coefficient approved by each town council according to the number of years elapsed, and the municipal tax rate is applied to the result. **2. Actual capital gain.** It is calculated on the gain actually obtained (the difference between the sale price and the purchase price), applying the proportion corresponding to the land value. If there has been no increase in value, that is, if you sell at a price equal to or lower than the purchase price, **there is no obligation to pay this tax**. ## Calculate the capital gains tax in your Maresme town As the tax depends on each town council, we have prepared a calculator tailored to each locality - [Municipal capital gains tax in Alella](https://maresmerealtors.com/calculadora-plusvalia-municipal/alella/) - [Municipal capital gains tax in Cabrera de Mar](https://maresmerealtors.com/calculadora-plusvalia-municipal/cabrera-de-mar/) - [Municipal capital gains tax in Sant Andreu de Llavaneres](https://maresmerealtors.com/calculadora-plusvalia-municipal/sant-andreu-de-llavaneres/) - [Municipal capital gains tax in Tiana](https://maresmerealtors.com/calculadora-plusvalia-municipal/tiana/) - [Municipal capital gains tax in Cabrils](https://maresmerealtors.com/calculadora-plusvalia-municipal/cabrils/) - [Municipal capital gains tax in Mataró](https://maresmerealtors.com/calculadora-plusvalia-municipal/mataro/) - [Municipal capital gains tax in Premià de Mar](https://maresmerealtors.com/calculadora-plusvalia-municipal/premia-de-mar/) - [Municipal capital gains tax in Montgat](https://maresmerealtors.com/calculadora-plusvalia-municipal/montgat/) - Municipal capital gains tax in Vilassar de Mar - Municipal capital gains tax in El Masnou ## Frequently asked questions about the municipal capital gains tax Who pays the municipal capital gains tax, the buyer or the seller? As a general rule the seller pays it, since they are the one who obtains the increase in value. In the case of inheritances or gifts, it falls to whoever receives the property. When is the municipal capital gains tax paid? The deadline is 30 working days from the date of sale. For transfers by inheritance, the deadline is extended to 6 months, which can be extended up to one year. In which cases is the municipal capital gains tax not paid? It is not paid when there has been no increase in value, that is, when the sale price is equal to or lower than the purchase price. There are also cases of exemption under current regulations. Is the capital gains tax the same in all Maresme towns? No. Each town council sets its own coefficients and tax rate, within the legal limits. That is why it is best to use the calculator tailored to your town. Is the calculator’s result final? It is an approximate estimate. The final amount depends on the exact cadastral data and the ordinance in force at any given time.
