Non-Resident Tax Return
Non-Resident Tax Return in Spain
Fiscal Compliance for International Property Owners
The Non-Resident Tax Return is a crucial requirement for individuals who own property in Spain but do not reside in the country. Understanding and fulfilling this obligation ensures compliance with Spanish tax laws and prevents unnecessary penalties.
At Fuster & Associates, we provide expert, personalized assistance to help you handle this annual responsibility with confidence and ease.
What Is the Non-Resident Tax Return?
Also known as Modelo 210, this tax return is a mandatory declaration for non-residents who own property in Spain. Even if the property is not rented out, the Spanish Tax Agency imputes a notional income that must be declared annually.
Failing to file this return can result in interest charges, penalties, or enforcement actions. It’s essential for non-resident property owners to stay informed and up to date.
Who is Obliged to File an Income Tax Return?
Non-Residents Who Own Property in Spain
The following profiles are required to file:
- EU and non-EU citizens who own property in Spain
- Individuals who do not reside in Spain for tax purposes
