Many clients choose our Sweet Home Service, which includes ongoing assistance with non-resident tax obligations, reminders and property-related administration throughout the year.
What is Non-Resident Tax?
If you own a property in Spain but are not tax resident here, you may be required to submit an annual Non-Resident Tax declaration.
Many property owners are surprised to learn that this obligation can apply even if:
- The property is only used for holidays
- The property remains empty for most of the year
- No rental income is received
This is because the Spanish Tax Authorities consider that owning a property in Spain may create a taxable benefit, even when the property is not rented out.
What If I Rent Out My Property?
If the property generates rental income, different tax rules apply.
In addition to declaring the rental income received, owners may be required to submit additional tax declarations throughout the year.
The tax treatment will depend on factors such as your country of residence and the type of rental activity.
Why Is It Important to pay Non-Resident tax?
Failure to submit the required declarations can result in penalties, interest charges and unnecessary complications in the future.
Keeping your tax affairs up to date helps avoid problems and ensures compliance with Spanish tax regulations.
