Our tax advice for non-residents in Madrid covers obligations that may arise from property, rent, a sale or other income connected with Spain. We review tax residence, dates and documents before establishing what needs reporting. We can advise remotely whether you live abroad or the property is elsewhere in Spain.
Living abroad does not necessarily remove obligations arising from income or property in Spain. We first check your tax residence and which income is treated as Spanish-source. We then assess each transaction, including withholding, filing requirements and any treaty with your country of residence.
Knowing that you own a home in Spain is not enough. It may have been available for personal use for part of the year and rented for another part, or sold after a letting period. The review should distinguish the uses, dates and income associated with each stage.
We also need to identify the owners and the documents available for the acquisition or sale. This avoids treating the property as though its circumstances were unchanged throughout the tax year.
An urban home available to a non-resident individual may generate imputed income even if it is not rented out. We review ownership, the cadastral value and the period of availability to establish what must be declared. This is separate from IBI and other property-related taxes.
To assess a rental, we need the contract, income, rental periods and evidence of expenses. Deductibility and filing rules depend on the circumstances and applicable law. We also check whether tax has been withheld and how it is treated in the calculation.
Before selling, gather the acquisition deed, costs and transfer details. We review the tax result and any withholding required from the buyer, alongside the related returns. If the sale has already completed, we start with the date and supporting documents to identify outstanding steps.
Form 210 covers various income received by non-residents without a permanent establishment, including certain property income and gains. There is no single timetable for every case. We establish the income type, period, any applicable grouping rules and filing deadline before preparing the return.
We identify whether the item is imputed income, rent, a disposal or another receipt, and whether it requires a return. Withholding, possible exemptions and the presence or absence of a permanent establishment are reviewed. Not every non-resident receipt should be assumed to require Form 210 or to follow the same rules.
Assessing non-resident obligations requires the income, evidenced residence and applicable treaty to be considered together. Modelo 210 may be relevant when reporting income obtained without a permanent establishment. The timetable depends on the income type and period: the same date should not be applied to rent, imputed income and property disposals.
Depending on the income, residence certificates, cadastral references and values, contracts, income and expense records or deeds may be needed. Documents should identify the tax year, days of use and each owner’s interest. We check the applicable timetable before agreeing a filing, particularly where there are several uses or owners.
We check whether a treaty applies and what it provides for the particular income. Evidence of tax residence and an assessment of double taxation relief may be needed. Our review defines the Spanish obligations and flags when additional advice in your country of residence is required.
Our tax advice for non-residents in Madrid starts with where you live, the property or income connected with Spain and the relevant dates. We then review the necessary certificates, deeds, contracts or returns and agree whether the work involves preparing a transaction, filing a return or reviewing an earlier period. The property does not need to be in Madrid for us to assess your case.
The first contact can be brief: where you live, the Spanish income or property involved, the tax year and any date that needs attention. Please do not send deeds, bank details or identity documents through the initial form. Once the work is agreed, we will explain which supporting documents are relevant and how to share them.
We match supporting records to each property or income source and identify information still needed to calculate or review the obligation. The agreement specifies the returns and actions covered, owners and years. A rental enquiry does not automatically cover a sale, other properties or every tax obligation of the person concerned.
We need to know what happened, when, and which documents or returns exist. We agree whether the review concerns a filed return, an outstanding obligation or a possible correction. We cannot anticipate the outcome without examining the information.
These answers provide guidance on common situations. To establish an obligation, we need to know both the property's use or the income type and your tax residence.
Possibly. An urban home available for personal use may generate imputed income for an individual who is not Spanish tax resident. Ownership, use and the period must be reviewed: receiving no rent does not necessarily mean there is nothing to report.
They are different obligations. IBI is linked to property ownership and does not by itself replace the treatment of income under non-resident income tax. Both need to be considered without confusing their purposes.
It depends on the circumstances, tax residence and the legislation and criteria applicable to the year. Supporting evidence and eligibility must be checked before calculating the income. There is no single deduction rule that can be applied to every case.
Relevant information includes the acquisition, costs, sale, dates and related withholding. We define the work using these details and distinguish any obligations falling on each party to the transaction.
Not necessarily. The nature of the income, Spanish rules and applicable treaty must be checked. Double taxation is addressed through the relevant relief mechanism, not by automatically omitting income in one country.
A universal filing obligation should not be assumed. Some cases involving withholding or exemptions do not require that return. The income is identified first, followed by the applicable form and deadline.
Yes. We need to know what happened, when and what was filed. The engagement specifies whether we are reviewing a return, an outstanding obligation or a possible correction, without anticipating the outcome.
Your country of residence, the type of income or property, relevant tax years and a description of what you need to resolve. We then define the initial review and documents required. All taxes and all years are not automatically included.
Yes. Although our office is in Madrid, we provide remote tax advice to non-residents with obligations connected with any part of Spain. Your property or the income you are asking about does not need to be in Madrid. You can also contact us from abroad; we will agree the documentation and scope of your case.
