Dear Sir,
No, it's incorrect.
Perhaps you may be confusing it with a retention of 3% that is being withheld by the buyer and paid into the Spanish Tax office on account of your CGT liability.
I take it you are a fiscally non-resident in Spain. If correct, then they would apply the said 3% retention.
This is explained in detail on this thread (post number 18).-
