Are you a non-resident property owner in Spain? Understanding your tax obligations is crucial to avoid penalties and ensure financial compliance. Let’s break down the basics.
Who is considered a non-resident in Spain?
A non-resident in Spain is an individual who spends less than 183 days in the country per tax year.
Main Taxes for Non-Residents
- Non-Resident Income Tax (Modelo 210): This is the primary tax for non-residents with income from Spanish sources. It applies to rental income, capital gains from property sales, and other types of income generated within Spain.
- Wealth Tax: If your net wealth exceeds a certain threshold, you may be subject to wealth tax on your Spanish assets. It’s important to note that some regions in Spain offer exemptions.
- Property Tax (IBI): Owners of property in Spain are obligated to pay this annual tax, regardless of residency.
Key Points to Remember
- Filing Deadlines: Adhere to the filing deadlines for your tax returns to avoid penalties.
- Double Taxation Treaties: Spain has double taxation treaties with many countries. These agreements help prevent you from being taxed twice on the same income.
- Seek Professional Advice: Tax laws can be complex. Consulting with a tax advisor can provide tailored guidance and ensure compliance.
