Studio Purchase Price (City Center)
On 23 October 2026 AndorraListings showed 20 studios in Encamp at a median €4,500 per m² (median price €184,500, median size 40 m²). Asking prices, not closed sales. The figure mixes the town with Vila, Les Bons and Pas de la Casa. 18
Studio Purchase Price (Outside City)
The same AndorraListings page does not publish a separate suburban price. The parish-wide studio median that day was €4,500 per m² (median €184,500 for 40 m²). Asking prices, not closed sales. 18
1-Bedroom Purchase Price (City Center)
Flats on AndorraListings that day (343 homes) had a median of €5,629 per m², median price €445,000 at 81 m². The site does not split one-bedroom from larger flats. A 60 m² flat at that rate is about €338,000. Asking prices, parish-wide. 18
1-Bedroom Purchase Price (Outside City)
No separate outside-town series. The same flat median of €5,629 per m² applies across the parish. A 60 m² flat at that rate is about €338,000. 18
2-Bedroom Purchase Price (City Center)
Same flat median of €5,629 per m² on 23 October 2026, not split by bedrooms. An 80 m² flat at that rate is about €450,000. 18
2-Bedroom Purchase Price (Outside City)
No separate outside-town series. The same flat median of €5,629 per m² applies. An 80 m² flat at that rate is about €450,000. 18
Corporate Tax
The general corporate tax rate is 10%. A new entrepreneur with turnover under €100,000 pays 5% on the first €50,000 of the tax base for the first three years and 10% above that. 5
Dividend Withholding Tax
Dividends paid by Andorran companies that are subject to Andorran corporate tax are exempt from IRPF for residents (article 5 of the IRPF law), so there is no dividend withholding on those distributions. 6
Tax System
Residents pay IRPF on worldwide income. You are tax resident if you spend more than 183 days in Andorra in the calendar year, or if your centre of economic interests is there. General income is effectively 0% up to €24,000, 5% between €24,000 and €40,000 through a bonus of up to €800, and 10% above €40,000. 5
Highest Income Tax Bracket
10% 5
VAT
IGI, the general indirect tax, is 4.5%. Rates of 0%, 1% and 2.5% apply to listed supplies, and banking and financial services are taxed at 9.5%. 5
Controlled Foreign Company (CFC) Rules
Article 29 bis of the IRPF law is a fiscal-transparency rule. A resident who, alone or with related persons, holds more than 50% of an entity imputes specified passive income when the foreign tax paid is under half the Andorran tax. An active-business exception applies. 6
Property Tax
The Comú taxes built property at €0.60 per m² of built area a year. Bare land is exempt. The location index is 1 for the whole parish. Terraces, parking and storage count at 40%. A 40 m² flat is €24 a year. 13
Property Transaction Tax
The buyer pays ITP at 4% of the real value (1% to the government and 3% to the communes). 7
Attractive Tax System for Digital Nomads
D.3 digital-nomad residence is an initial two-year permit. The holder must live in Andorra at least 90 days a year and show sufficient means and health insurance valid in Andorra. There is no separate nomad tax: tax residence is still 183 days, and ordinary IRPF applies. 5 24
