🇬🇧🇪🇸 Non-EU Landlords in Spain — Possible Tax Overpayments
Many non-EU landlords who own property in Spain may have been paying more tax than necessary including UK residents since Brexit.
EU residents were treated differently for Spanish tax purposes — meaning lower rates and more deductions including management services such as keyholding. Plus they paid tax at 19%.
Non‑EU residents were treated differently, which pushed their tax rate up and removed certain allowances.
Recent reviews suggest that some landlords continued paying the higher non‑EU rate even when they might have qualified for partial relief or refunds under updated guidance.
If you rent out property in Spain and are a non-EU national, it’s worth checking whether your tax returns since 2021 were calculated correctly. You may be entitled to reclaim overpaid tax.
👉 Speak to a Spanish tax adviser familiar with cross‑border rules — or review your non‑resident tax filings (*Modelo 210*) to see if adjustments apply.
Who knows you can not have your property looked after by a company such as ourselves www.keoghkeyholding.com and treat yourself to a nice ice cream more often in Torre de la Horadada harbour!
