In Episode 4 of Legally Brunettes, real estate agent Kevin Victor and attorney Orlando Santamaria from Lex360 tackle a topic that every property owner in Puerto Vallarta should understand before selling: Capital gains tax in Mexico.
In this episode we explain how capital gains taxes are calculated when you sell a property, what factors influence the amount you may owe, and how the notary determines the taxable gain. We also discuss possible deductions, how residency status can affect the calculation, and why proper documentation from the moment you purchase the property can make a significant difference later.
If you are planning to sell, invest, or hold property in Puerto Vallarta, understanding how capital gains taxes work can help you avoid surprises and plan your strategy more effectively.
