You might consider increasing the mortgage on your home in the Netherlands to arrange financing for your Spanish real estate. This can be tax-advantageous, depending on your personal situation.
An alternative is for family members, such as your children, to purchase the property with a donation or loan from you. This can be strategic for asset management and estate planning.
By establishing a Spanish Sociedad Limitada (comparable to the Dutch BV), you can enjoy legal and tax benefits when purchasing property.
Having your children own the shares of the Spanish SL can offer tax benefits, especially for asset transfer and tax planning.
A Spanish SL as a subsidiary of your Dutch holding company can be tax-efficient, especially for capital transfer.
The purchase price of the Spanish property can be contributed as capital to the Spanish SL by your Dutch BV without incurring taxes.
Combining these methods can be advantageous, depending on your financial and business situation.
It is advisable to establish an SL in Spain for business activities, regardless of your chosen financing method. This not only offers tax benefits but also a platform for business initiatives in Spain.
