A Spanish tax lawyer has made a striking claim in a recent interview: more than 50% of cases in which taxpayers challenge a ruling by Spain’s tax authority, Hacienda, are won by the claimant. His advice is straightforward — do not give up without a fight when a tax assessment seems unjust. For international property owners on the Costa Blanca, this is particularly relevant, as disputes over capital gains tax, inheritance tax or other property-related levies are not uncommon. Engaging a specialist Spanish tax lawyer can therefore be a worthwhile investment, given the statistically reasonable chance of success. The key takeaway is to seek expert legal advice promptly rather than simply accepting an unwelcome tax demand.
