CAPITAL GAIN. When can the mortgage cancellation be deducted?

When selling a primary residence, the outstanding balance of the mortgage may be subtracted from the sale price to calculate the capital gain, provided that:

  • The property sold has been the taxpayer’s habitual residence (lived in for ≥ 3 years or with justified reasons for the change).

  • The mortgage was linked to the purchase of that property (not loans for other purposes).

This is not a deduction as such, but it reduces the profit and, therefore, the income tax (IRPF) payable.
