Taxes & Finance in Mallorca

Anyone living in Mallorca or owning property there cannot avoid Spanish tax law — and it works quite differently from what most people are used to back home. Whether you are a tax resident or non-resident determines which taxes apply to you.

In this section you will find well-researched guides on IRPF, non-resident tax, Modelo 720 and double taxation agreements — up to date for 2026, with all the relevant legislation referenced.

Check gifts across national borders

Anyone wishing to gift a property in Mallorca should have the family relationship, the property's valuation and the required declaration checked. A Balearic tax relief does not automatically mean that no gift tax is payable in Germany. Other tax consequences of the transfer may also be relevant.

Frequently asked questions

Is Mallorca a tax haven?
No. Spanish taxes apply in Mallorca; individual Balearic tax reliefs do not make the island generally tax-free. For certain inheritances and gifts within a family, the tax burden may be reduced if the legal conditions are met. Any tax obligations in Germany must be assessed separately.
