Owning property in Spain is a dream for many expats, but it also comes with specific tax obligations that many don’t understand when buying their home.
Whether you use your property for personal holidays or rent it out, the Spanish Tax Office requires you to file an annual declaration (Modelo 210). Missing or incorrectly filing these returns can lead to fines and unnecessary costs. That’s where IberianTax comes in.
Who needs to file?
If you are a non-resident property owner in Spain, you are required to submit tax returns via the Modelo 210 form, even if:
- You only use the property for personal purposes (imputed income tax).
- You rent out the property for part or all of the year (rental income tax).
- You have sold a property in Spain (capital gains tax).
The main tax returns you may need to file
1. Imputed Income Tax (Modelo 210 form)
Even if your property is not rented out, Spain assumes a theoretical rental income. This must be declared each year under Modelo 210.
2. Rental Income Tax (Modelo 210 form)
If your Spanish property generates rental income, you must file and pay tax on it.
EU/EEA residents can deduct eligible expenses (utilities, maintenance, agency fees, insurance, etc.).
Non-EU residents pay tax on gross income.
3. Capital Gains Tax (Modelo 210 form)
When selling a property in Spain, a 3% withholding tax applies. To reclaim it (if applicable), and to settle your final tax position, you must file Modelo 210 for capital gains.
