Luxury in Mallorca: Why a 13 Percent Tax Doesn't Stop Buyers — and What That Means for Us
Why Mallorca’s Luxury Property Market Keeps Moving Despite the Tax
Wealthy buyers keep purchasing in Mallorca despite the 13% transfer tax on top-end homes.
Published: April 23, 2026
Answer
Does Mallorca’s 13% property tax stop wealthy buyers from purchasing luxury homes?
Not really. Even with a top transfer tax of 13% on the most expensive properties, Mallorca continues to attract wealthy buyers, including a large share of foreigners. For people buying at several million euros, the tax is often seen as a cost they can absorb rather than a dealbreaker.
