March, 3rd 2020  Good news for young people who want to buy an apartment! The Tax Agency of Catalonia will make it a little easier for you, if you meet the following requirements:

– Have not yet turned 33 years old.

– That your total tax base, minus the personal and family minimum, lastly declaration of income tax for individuals, do not exceed 30,000 euros.

– And as long as the home you purchase is your usual home. This means that it must be your residence and you will have to be registered in it for the next 3 years.
