Acquisition Value
It corresponds to the Tax Asset Value of the property at the time the donation took place and was taken as a reference for charging Stamp tax.
When the donation was made in favor of ascendants, descendants, or spouses/partners, the acquisition value corresponds to the Tax Asset Value of the property attributed two years before the donation.
Date of Acquisition

Date of Acquisition
The date of acquisition is considered to be the moment in which the donation occurred.
Acquisition Value
It corresponds to the Tax Asset Value of the property at the time the death occurred and was taken as a reference for charging the Stamp tax.
Date of Acquisition
Different moments can be considered as the date of acquisition, namely, the date on which death occurred and the date of receipt of the inheritance.
A property obtained after the death of a relative, that is, through inheritance, is exempt from paying Stamp Tax when the beneficiaries are ascendants, descendants, and spouses/partners. At the same time, the property also benefits from IRS exemption.
In the future, when you sell the inherited property, the capital gains will be subject to the IRS at 50%. When calculating the capital gains obtained, the values considered as acquisition value must be taken into account. Furthermore, the sale value, to calculate the capital gain, must be divided proportionally between each share sold.
When you sell a property for a value greater than its value of acquisition you will obtain a gain - called Capital Gains. If you acquired the property more than 24 months ago, you must apply the currency devaluation coefficient to its acquisition value to determine the Capital Gains obtained.
When calculating the Capital Gains obtained, there are some expenses that you can deduce. These expenses are the application for the energy certificate, IMT, Stamp Tax, real estate commission, solicitor service, property deed, and valuation expenses over the last 12 years.
Capital Gains result from the difference between its sale value, which appears in the deed, and its acquisition value. However, when we talk about the sale of properties received by inheritance, or donation, there are specificities in calculating the Surplus Value due to its acquisition value!
