    Default Tax - selling my international property while resident in Spain

    I am thinking about moving to Spain and buying a property there to become resident in Andalusia. The thing is I also own a few small properties outside the EU that I would like to sell. If I move to Spain say for a couple of years, take up residency and then decide to sell my international property could I move to a tax free area, leave spanish tax residency for a year and sell the property without any tax liability in Spain? Would there be any taxes to pay if I then returned to Spain the following year and continued with tax residency there?

    Thanks

    Hello Bc1050,

    The Spanish tax Law contains a provision (Article 8.2 LIRPF) for taxpayers, residents in Spain, who move their residency status to a tax haven.

    According to this norm, personal taxpayers who prove their new residency in a country or territory qualified as tax haven, will not lose their status of Spanish taxpayers for the following five years.
