TAX AND ADMINISTRATION

INCOME TAXES

The possession of goods in Spain entails a series of tax obligations. As a non-resident in Spain, you must pay annual taxes on your property, even if you do not rent the property.

The declaration must be made by owner and by dwelling. Dependencies with a separate cadastral number must also be indicated.

If you do not rent, a fixed rent of 1.1% will be charged on the cadastral value of your property. On this income, the Spanish tax authorities will collect a tax of 19% for EU residents and 24% for non-EU residents.

The declaration must be made annually by December 31 of the year following the year in which the owner was the owner. For example: if you had a property in Spain in 2017, the declaration must be made before December 31, 2018.

If you rent your property, the Spanish tax authorities will charge a 19% tax on your net rental income.

Deductions applicable on an annual basis in the return:

  1. IBI or cadastral income
  2. Garbage
  3. Insurance
  4. Community (annual)
  5. Any interest on a Spanish loan
  6. Commission intermediary (Agency)
  7. Invoices for work and furniture (10 years)
  8. Invoices

After deducting these taxes and expenses, you will receive the exact amount you will have to pay in taxes to the Spanish tax authorities for the rented period, per quarter.

As a natural person, you will have to pay taxes on the fictitious rental value again the following year. This is calculated in a calendar year minus the periods already indicated in which there was rental activity.
