Thank you
The problem is my solicitor miscalculated the stamp duty and witholding tax so the purchaser did not deduct a sufficient amount before completion.

Am I liable to pay this now after completion, I do not wish to make a claim for refund as it will be not worth the fees involved.
Thanks

You don’t have to pay for Stamp Duty.
You don’t have to pay for notary or land registry fees.
You don’t have to pay for 7% Transfer Tax.

If you are a non fiscal resident in Spain the purchaser withheld 3% of the purchase price which has been paid over to the Spanish Tax Office on account of your Capital Gains Tax liability. This is not a tax or withholding tax as you mistakenly post.

If you are liable for less your appointed lawyer can request for a refund which normally takes a year’s time or so. Delay interests are paid by the Tax Office on said amounts.
