**In short:** Local taxes: property tax, capital gains, waste and access charges. We review and challenge property tax, municipal capital gains, waste charges and vehicle access assessments, and claim back what was wrongly paid. We handle it ourselves from start to finish, with professionals from our network, with a written quote before we start and your case visible in your client area. We ask for the bill, the notice and the deed or document that gives rise to the tax.

### WHAT IS INCLUDED AND WHAT IS NOT PROMISED

Municipal bills get paid out of habit, and some should not be: capital gains tax on a sale at a loss, property tax on a wrongly assigned cadastral value, a charge for a service that is not provided. Checking costs little.

What it includes: review of the bill and of the file behind it; appeal or claim before the municipal economic-administrative body; claim for refund of amounts wrongly paid where available. What it does not include: we cannot guarantee a refund: it depends on the defect existing and the deadline still being open.

#### DOCUMENTS YOU WILL NEED

- The full bill or assessment.
- Purchase and sale deeds where municipal capital gains is challenged.
- Cadastral reference of the property.

#### INDICATIVE TIMING

We answer your enquiry within 1 working day and send the written quote within 2 working days.

Once your documents are complete, we prepare the file between 3 and 7 working days.

Town halls decide within months. A reconsideration appeal against a local tax act must be decided within one month and, if there is no decision, it is deemed refused; that is why we monitor the file.

See [the pricing page](https://iberfacil.es/en/pricing) for how we charge this kind of matter.

### How it works

1. **WE IDENTIFY THE EXACT PROCEDURE** We review the municipal bill or assessment and tell you whether there are grounds to appeal and whether the deadline is still open.
2. **DOCUMENT LIST AND QUOTE** We ask for the bill, the notice and the deed or document that gives rise to the tax. Written quote before we start.
3. **FILING AND RECEIPT** We file the appeal or the claim with the municipal body, and the refund request where it applies.
4. **TRACKING AND CORRECTIONS** We follow the decision and tell you whether it is worth going to court if it is rejected.

#### What to have at hand

- The full bill or assessment
- Purchase and sale deeds where municipal capital gains is challenged
- Cadastral reference of the property

### Frequently asked questions

I SOLD AT A LOSS AND I AM CHARGED CAPITAL GAINS.

That is the clearest case to challenge. We need both deeds to evidence it.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO CLAIM?

It depends whether it is an assessment or a self-assessment. The deadline is the first thing we check.

I PAID YEARS AGO.

A refund claim may still be possible within the limitation period. We check.
