Between 1997 and the end of 2006, UK citizens and other non resident EU citizens paid 35% Capital Gains Tax (CGT) when selling their property, whilst Spanish nationals only paid 15%.

The ECJ ruling has confirmed our legal arguments and states that this overpayment contravenes European Community Treaty discrimination rules and should not have been charged by the Spanish Tax Authorities.

Therefore, if you meet the requirements, you are entitled to reclaim this overpayment, plus approx. 6% interest annually from the moment we present your claim (estimated average to reclaim: 15.000 €).

The ECJ ruling means that as many as 90,000 people could now come forward to make a reclaim.

Do you qualify?

* To make a claim you must meet the following criteria:

1. 1. You sold a Spanish property between January 1997 and Dec. 31st 2006.
2. 2. You were NOT a fiscal resident in Spain when you sold it.
3. 3. You have (or can obtain) a copy of tax forms Modelo 212 and/or 211 proving that the Capital Gains Tax was paid.
4. 4. You have (or can obtain) a copy of your purchase + sale deeds.

How do I claim?

* If you think you are entitled to claim, register as soon as possible.

You will need the following documents:

1. 1. A copy of the Spanish Tax Form ?Modelo 212? and/or "Modelo 211".
2. 2. If you only have a "Modelo 211" please also provide:

• a) Purchase deed
  and/or
  b) Sale deed

*Time is of the essence, as claims must be made within 1 year of the ECJ's ruling.

it is important you seek professional specialist legal advice as it is not simply a case of filing your reclaim with the Spanish Tax Authorities. It is important to choose a specialist Spanish tax solicitor familiar with International tax laws and court procedures as each case may have to go to the Spanish and ECJ Courts.

*It is important to realise that any cases that are rejected for whatever reason, cannot file the reclaim again.

Why Use Costa, Alvarez, Manglano & Asociados?

Costa, Alvarez, Manglano & Asociados has built their reputation as Tax Specialists over the last 16 years. They work with companies both in Spain and internationally. Their Head Office is in Valencia with branches in Castellón and Barcelona.

After building this case from the beginning in February this year they received a final judgement from a Spanish high court, ruling that the Spanish Tax Authorities must refund overcharged Capital Gains tax.

Prior to this judgement, some clients were advised by their lawyers that they would never win a case against the Spanish Administration.

Important facts you should be aware of:

• * In Spain, only 1 out of 3 (approx.) tax advisors are lawyers who can legally represent clients in Courts. In addition very few lawyers are tax specialists.
• * Not all tax specialist / lawyers are specialized in international and European Community laws, only domestic laws. Your reclaim must be defended in court based on international legal arguments.
• * We now anticipate the Spanish Tax Authorities will employ legal tactics to make future claims difficult and to delay payments. As we have built the case from scratch, Costa, Alvarez, Manglano are fully prepared to defend and overrule such tactics.

As a result, it is crucial to employ the services of a lawyer suitably specialized and experienced. Wrong advice could ruin your chance of a successful reclaim.

Some clients expressed fears about possible consequences resulting from presenting this reclaim.

Remember:

• *It is your right by Spanish Law to reclaim any overcharged tax and this right is officially regulated.
• * Of the many Capital Gains Tax reclaims presented since early 2007, none have experienced any undue consequences.
