Wealth Tax Return
Do You Own Property in Spain?
Find Out if You Must File a Wealth Tax Return
Owning property in Spain comes with tax responsibilities—one of them is the Wealth Tax Return, especially if your net assets exceed certain thresholds.
At Fuster & Associates, we help international property owners navigate this tax clearly, safely, and stress-free.
What Is the Wealth Tax Return?
The Wealth Tax is an annual tax on an individual’s net assets, including real estate, bank accounts, investments, vehicles, life insurance, and other holdings located in Spain.
This tax is filed using Form 714 with the Spanish Tax Agency and is applicable to both residents and non-residents who exceed specific asset limits.
Who Is Required to File a Wealth Tax Return?
Spanish Tax Residents
- Must declare worldwide assets, not just those in Spain.
- Generally required if net assets exceed €700,000, though this threshold may vary by region.
Non-Residents (Foreigners with Assets in Spain)
- Only required to declare assets located in Spain.
- Filing is mandatory if net assets in Spain exceed €700,000.
Important: The main home is exempt up to €300,000—but only for tax residents in Spain.
Requirements and Necessary Documentation
To file your Wealth Tax Return correctly, you will need:
NIE and passport
Cadastral value and purchase value of your property
Documentation of Spanish bank accounts
Proof of other assets (vehicles, insurance, investments)
Information on mortgages or debts tied to assets
Past tax filings, if applicable (Form 714)
