The President of the Junta, Juanma Moreno, announced on Monday that Wealth Tax will be scrapped in Andalucia from the 21st of September. This will apply to both Spanish nationals and to those who have a secondary residence there. The region follows Madrid as the second region to subsidize this tax.
This is being done in an attempt to attract high-level tax payers to the area and to encourage them to remain in Andalucia permanently in order to bring an increased level of investment into the area. This follows 20 of the top wealth tax payers leaving the region in 2022, taking with them 18 million euros worth of tax.
This is predicted to attract 7000 new residents to the area, the economic benefits of which will exceed by far the 0.6% of regional income provided by wealth tax in previous years.
The region is also set to reduce personal income tax by 4.3% and abolish the water tax.

Your des-res might be a gorgeous sea-front apartment overlooking the med, or a rural stone cottage nestled amongst the vineyards of Burgundy, but wherever you live, once you are settled, understanding whether you are domiciled, non-domiciled or resident can be a bit confusing. However, clarity is essential: the amount of tax you pay hinges on knowing the difference and the relevance of each non-dom status versus residency status.
