Hi ziggy1,
TAXES ON TOBACCO (included in final price)
- VAT 18%.
- Special tax:
- 57%.
- 12,70 euros every 1.000 cigarrettes.
- HOWEVER, if the sum of both amounts (57% on initial price and 12,70 every 1.000 cigarretes) is below 116,90 euros, then this is the minimun tax, 116,90 euros (this represents a minimum of 2,34 euros in each 20 cigarettes carton).
TAXES ON REAL ESTATES (usually not included in final price, unfortunately)
- New properties, that is, you buy to the builder:
- VAT 8%. It has been temporarily reduced (until 31st December, at least) to 4%.
- ITP 0,5 or 1%. (it depends on the community where the real estate is located).
- Second hand properties: ITP 6, 7 or 8 % (it depends on the community where the real estate is located).
TAXES ON BASIC NECESSITIES, like milk (included in final price)
- VAT 4%.
Hope it helps.
