Whether to inherit a property in Mallorca or to give it as a gift? A question of cost …

Transferring your holiday property wisely can save a lot of money, as in extreme cases the tax levied on inheritances or gifts in Spain can be more than 70 per cent. It can, however, also be done much more cheaply and to that end, we would like to provide an overview and explain where traps lurk and where the opportunities for non-residents can be found. Anyone who owns a property in Mallorca must sooner or later ask themselves the question - what will happen to my holiday property when I am no longer alive? Is giving it as a gift during my lifetime the right step or would a normal inheritance be a better way? When transferring real estate in Spain a number of legal regulations have to be considered, and it makes sense to deal with these issues well before the transfer takes place. It c...

Mallorca positions itself as a sporting paradise

Rafa Nadal & Co. have helped make the island a popular destination for both professional and amateur athletes, and many German athletes have made their second home there.  by Stefanie Claudia Müller Spain is a sporting nation, and in many disciplines the Spaniards are world leaders.

All eyes are on Mallorca once again

Having been in the media spotlight almost a year ago when the season restarted, once again all hope has been placed in the Germans. Stefanie Claudia Müller Tom Mardorf is leaving the island. Even though Mallorca still seems empty compared to the record summer of 2019, he believes that he desperately needs a change of scenery: "I need to have a rest." The 58-year-old has spent the past few months setting up a food bank together with the evangelical church in Santa Ponsa, distributing tinned food, vegetables, fruit and hygiene items to dozens of families every day. "Many of the people have never asked for help with food in their lives, and I was shocked by the sudden poverty of many people when I returned to the island last September after a long absence," says the German entrepreneu...

... but look out for the tax implications. If your main and/or fiscal domicile is in Spain, all your assets must be declared for taxation there. Stefanie Claudia Müller Many consider it cynical that executives enjoy the sun in times of pandemic, while their own employees in Berlin, London or Paris fear for their jobs every day and nurses, sales staff and teachers are in danger every day from infection through direct contact.

These are the people whose companies travel with them or who, being programmers, journalists or mathematicians, can work almost anywhere. Sabine Christiansen is probably one of the few Germans who openly admitted in an interview in the summer of 2020 that she...
