What Is a Tax Audit?

A tax audit is a detailed review of a taxpayer’s fiscal situation. It helps identify errors, omissions, or potential tax risks and ensures that all applicable taxes have been correctly declared and paid.

In the context of property ownership in Spain, a tax audit is an essential tool for international buyers and owners unfamiliar with the Spanish tax system.

Who Should Consider a Tax Audit?

Residents and Non-Residents

Both tax residents and non-residents in Spain may have fiscal obligations related to property ownership or rental income. The following profiles should strongly consider a tax audit:

  • Owners renting out their Spanish property
  • Recent buyers of a second home in Spain
  • International investors with real estate assets
  • Individuals or entities who have received a tax inspection notice

Requirements and Necessary Documentation

To carry out an effective tax audit, some basic documents are required. These commonly include:

Property title deeds

Previous tax declarations (IRNR, IRPF, IBI)

Rental income receipts (if applicable)

Bank statements showing relevant transactions

Tax residency certificates (if applicable)

Our team will help you gather all required documents to ensure a smooth and accurate audit process.
