SPANISH TAX LIABILITIES FOR NON-RESIDENT OWNER OF PROPERTY IN SPAIN.
Income tax in Spain for non-residents. Taxation for owning a property in Spain.
In the event that you are non fiscal resident in Spain and own a real estate in Spanish territory, you will have to file a tax return on Non-resident Income Tax. It is a self-assessment tax return that all non-resident taxpayers in Spain, who own a real estate in this country, must present, yearly, to the Spanish Agency of Tax Administration.
When the property has been acquired by a married couple, or by more than one person, each person is an independent taxpayer and must file an individual Spanish Income Tax form.
Depending on the use of the property, the Income Tax in Spain will be calculated as follows:
– Calculation of the income, considering the exclusive personal use of the owners. A determined rate is applied on the cadastral value of the property.
– Calculation of the income in case the property is rented out: the rental price without the deduction of any costs will be taken into account.
In both cases, for European non-residents, the rate to be applied in 2016 is 24%.
