Hi,
I bought a property in Malaga province in early 2014. I sold it a couple of months back and this seems to have triggered a complenentaria tax demand. So far all I have received from the Andalucian tax authorities is a notification to say they disagree with the valuation of the property i.e. they think it was worth more than the price I paid.
The letter says I have 10 days to get an independent valuation done to challenge this. However, I only received the letter (via my lawyer) a month after the tax office sent it, so it's too late to appeal. It looks like I'll be stung for around 3,000 euroas extra tax.
I am now back in the UK and no longer resident in Spain. I have no intention of paying this additional tax. It seems like daylight robbery. I've always done things properly in Spain - paid all my taxes etc but this is a joke.
I'm in the process of closing my Spanish bank accounts so they can't embargo them and help themselves to my money.
Am I likely to have any issues if I don't pay this? Are they likely to chase me through the UK courts for such a relatively small amount?
Thanks in advance.
