Plusvalia tax paid on sale of Spanish property

Is Plusvalia tax an allowable cost of sale for UK Capital Gains? If not, is it allowable as a tax credit under DTR? (The Spanish accountant has deducted it as a cost of sale in Spain, although obviously the same treatment may not apply in the UK) Thanks

Hi Catherine Knight,
This is the equivelant of Stamp Duty Land Tax and would therefore be allowable as an expense.
Thank you. 

Thank you

I understand from the above plusvalia tax is the equivalent of UK SDLT, the spanish authorities also retained a flat 3% retention against tax in my current situation, would this get foreign tax credit relief in the UK?

Hi sburg966,
If it falls under any listed here:
DT17551 - Double Taxation Relief Manual: Guidance by country: Spain: Admissible taxes
Then yes.
Thank you.
