What Is a Tax Investigation?
A tax investigation is an official procedure initiated by the Spanish Tax Agency to review the accuracy of your tax filings. It may involve requests for documentation, clarification of income declarations, or property-related queries.
These investigations are not necessarily a sign of wrongdoing but require prompt and informed responses to avoid penalties or legal complications.
Who May Be Subject to a Tax Investigation?
International Property Owners and Investors
Tax investigations can affect:
- Non-residents who own or have sold property
- Residents with income from abroad or rental properties
- EU and non-EU citizens with financial ties to Spain
- Individuals flagged for discrepancies in tax returns
Fuster & Associates assists all profiles in handling investigations with clarity and compliance.

Property purchase and sale deeds
Rental agreements and income receipts
Bank statements and proof of payments
