Objective method (by coefficients)
It is the most common. It is based on:
- Cadastral value of the land.

- Maximum coefficients set by the State and approved by each municipality.
Actual method
It is calculated according to the actual profit obtained on the sale:

If there has been no increase in value, there is no obligation to pay capital gains, which is very relevant in transactions with losses or very tight profits.

- Do not check whether the actual method is more favorable.
- To think that capital gains must always be paid, even when there has been no profit.
- Do not take into account that each municipality applies its own tax rate.
An incorrect calculation can mean overpaying… or underestimating the profitability of the operation.
When and how is the capital gain paid?
- The usual period is 30 working days from the signing of the sale.
- The liquidation is presented at the corresponding city hall.
