Capital gains tax in Andorra 2026
Investment gains are taxed at a flat 10% as savings income, after the EUR 3,000 exemption.
Two big carve-outs: selling shares is exempt if you held 25% or less of the company, and real estate or large shareholdings held over 10 years sell tax-free for residents.
Andorran property sold within 2 years costs 15% (10% plus a 5% speculation surcharge); after 2 years the surcharge drops, and after 10 years residents pay 0%.
Most passive shareholders therefore never pay Andorran tax on their stock market gains.

Residency
Residency trigger
Residents are taxed on worldwide gains under these rules — with the 25%-stake and 10-year exemptions doing most of the work for ordinary investors.
Non-resident treatment
Non-residents are taxed on Andorran property gains at 10% (15% within 2 years) with no coefficient ladder and no 10-year exemption.
Notes
- Since 1 January 2024 property gains sit inside the main income tax frameworks rather than a standalone transfer tax, but the holding-period logic survived the merge.
- A resident selling a EUR 100,000 gain on index funds held in a sub-25% position pays 0 — the small-stake exemption covers ordinary brokerage portfolios.
- The exact reduction coefficients for property held 5 to 10 years should be confirmed with an adviser before a sale is timed around them.
- Crypto gains follow the savings-income track, not the property ladder — see the crypto block.
FAQ
I sold stock market investments at a EUR 40,000 profit — what do I owe?
Usually 0. Gains on stakes of 25% or less of a company are exempt, which covers virtually all portfolio investing. Outside the exemptions, the rate would be 10% after EUR 3,000.
What if I sell my Andorran apartment after 3 years?
10% of the gain — the 5% speculation surcharge only bites within 2 years of purchase, and full exemption arrives once you pass 10 years of ownership.
