Follow-up.

At Zeltis we focus on owners' associations, real estate law and the taxation of property transactions in Catalonia. Here, multi-owner buildings are governed by the Catalan Civil Code, and property transfer tax (ITP), stamp duty (AJD) and inheritance and gift tax are managed by the Catalan Tax Agency. We work within this specific framework from day one of every matter.
