What Is Non Resident Property Tax in Spain?
Buying a home in Spain is exciting, but international buyers are often caught out by the Non-Resident Property Tax. If you own a Spanish property but aren't a tax resident, this applies to you alongside local charges like IBI rates.
Key Facts for Owners:
No Rental Income? You Still Pay: Even if your property is strictly a holiday home for personal use, Spain charges an annual tax based on an "imputed" or deemed income from simply owning the property.
Renting Changes the Rules: If you rent it out, you pay tax based on actual rental income. Mixed-use properties require careful, split calculations.
Joint Ownership: If a couple buys a property together, each owner must usually file a separate tax return based on their share.
Unpaid taxes lead to interest, surcharges, and costly delays when you eventually sell. At Premier Properties, we ensure you understand these ongoing costs clearly from day one. Proper advice turns a potential surprise into simple, manageable ownership.
