Answer
How does the property transfer tax affect Mallorca’s public finances?
The property transfer tax is one of the most important sources of income for the Balearic government, and it rose sharply in 2025. When property prices and sales are high, this tax brings in much more money. That helps the budget, but it also shows how closely public finances depend on a tight housing market.
