Ownership & Operational Structure — Important Legal Information
As the apartments in Unique Vera Beach are classified as tourist apartments (apartamentos turísticos) under Andalusian law, there are specific legal and operational requirements that buyers should be aware of:
Usage & Rental Obligations
• By law, the owner is permitted to use the apartment for a maximum of 60 days per year.
• For the rest of the year, the owner must cede management and rental operations of the apartment to a designated operating company (“Explotadora Única”).
• Before signing the property deeds, the owner will enter into a contract with this operating company, outlining rights and obligations for both parties.
• The operating company handles all aspects of rental management, including marketing, reservations, cleaning, laundry and guest services, charging the owner a commission on rental income.
Tax & Purchase Structure
Purchases at Unique Vera Beach can be made either:
1. With ITP (Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales)
• Buyers paying under ITP must pay 7% of the purchase price as tax.
2. Under the “Sujeto Pasivo de IVA” regime
• Buyers in this category are exempt from paying IVA or ITP.
• Instead, they pay 1.2% of the purchase price as Actos Jurídicos Documentados (AJD).
• This purchase is structured as an “operation with VAT reverse charge” (Article 84.1.2 of Ley 37/1992), and the seller issues an invoice in the buyer’s name without VAT under this regime.
Ongoing Tax Reporting
• Regardless of whether the apartment is bought under ITP or the VAT reverse charge regime, because the apartment is a licensed tourist property whose management is contracted to a gestora:
◦ The owner must invoice the operating company for the rental income, with 21% VAT and 19% IRPF withholding tax applied.
◦ The owner is required to file quarterly VAT returns (Modelo 303) and the annual VAT summary (Modelo 390).
◦ The rental income must also be included on the owner’s annual Spanish tax return (“Declaración de la Renta”).
