However, if for instance you are buying as an individual then property transfer tax will apply.

The benefit of the purchase being subject to IVA is the opportunity to reclaim the tax paid.

There are 4 main costs of purchasing a commercial property in Spain. These are tax (VAT, Stamp Duty or Property Transfer Tax as applicable), legal fees, land registry fees and notary fees.

The monthly rental is subject to IVA. The current rate is 21%.

The lease would be governed by the Spanish Lease Act (Ley de Arrendamiento Urbano). This legislation does not cover rent reviews.
