The state average was 3.3 million euros, with 9.4 million euros declared in Madrid, 5.4 million euros in Galicia (mostly because Inditex Founder, Amancio Ortega and his family live there), 3.5 million in the Canary Islands and 3.4 million euros in Murcia.
The Wealth Tax is a direct and personal tax that's levied on the net worth of individuals. In the Balearic Islands, that applies to residents with assets of more than one million euros, who exceed the exempt minimum of 700,000 euros and have a habitual residence exemption of up to 300,000 euros.
The number of millionaires in the Balearic Islands has continued to grow in recent years. Between 2013 and 2018 assets declared to the Treasury increased by nearly 6,000 million euros and in 2018 some 7,828 Balearic residents paid Heritage Tax amounting to 24,128.5 million euros with 7,533 of them paying 68 million euros.
Capital
Most of the assets increased over the years although their weight has remained more or less stable.
65.4% or 14,630.9 million euros of the total equity corresponds to movable capital, such as shares, public debt or bank account deposits.
The real estate market is the second favourite option, monopolising just over a quarter of total assets, or 6,540 million euros.
The number of people who declared in 2018 was up by 100 from 2017, which is 1.3%, lower than the 6% growth of declared assets, or 1,361.6 million euros. That means high income wealth grew at a rate six times higher than the number of people with more than one-million-euros-worth of assets.
The amount taxpayers pay varies according to their income, so the higher the equity, the higher the bill.
The Balearic Islands is not the most expensive place for people with a one million euro fortune, but they are in second place for declared wealth of more than 10.9 million euros.
