Buying a New Build in Murcia? Tax Benefits & Lower Costs for 2025
The sunny Costa Cálida in the Region of Murcia is becoming one of the most attractive places in Spain to buy property. And now, thanks to new tax benefits approved in July 2025, buying a home here is even more affordable.
On 24 July 2025, the regional government published the Budget Law for 2025, which includes important tax reductions for property buyers. These changes apply from 25 July 2025 and can save you money if you are planning to buy a property in Murcia.
What Are the New Tax Benefits in Murcia?
- Transfer Tax (ITP): reduced from 8% to 7.75% on resale properties.
- Stamp Duty (AJD): reduced from 2% to 1.5% on new builds (when buying with VAT).
These changes apply to all purchases completed from 25 July 2025 onwards.
Why Does This Matter for Property Buyers?
Let’s take an example:
- On a €150,000 resale property, the new ITP rate saves you around €375.
- On a €360,000 new build, the new AJD rate saves you €1,800 in Stamp Duty.
- When buying a new build, please note that VAT also applies, which remains at 10%.
