INCOMES FROM PROPERTY RENTALS
INCOMES FROM PROPERTY RENTALS
Non residents, who have properties in Spain and rent them out, either long term rentals or short term rentals, are obliged to fill out and hand over a quarterly tax return for their incomes. Until now the obligation was to hand over a tax form 210 for each property and tenant. Thus if a property was used for holiday rentals and during a trimester it was rented out to 15 different tenants, 15 models 210 would have had to been handed over that trimester.
Since the Order of the 21st of December (HFP/1271/2017) from the Spanish Tax Authorities was approved, the system has changed. The incomes from the rentals will now be informed in one only tax form 210 for the whole quarter, specifying that it is an income 35. Thus the number of tenants won’t affect the number of forms.
For the days during which the property has been at the owners’ disposal, an annual tax form will have to be handed over (one per owner). Thus the owners, who are both renting out the property and using it themselves, will have to hand over the quarterly tax declarations and an annual one.
Should the non residents, who are owners of the properties, be EU citizens, then, they will be able to deduce from the incomes the costs related with the rents and in such cases, the income will be taxed with a tax rate of 19%. Meanwhile, should the non residents be citizens of a third estate (outside the EU), then they won’t be able to deduce any costs and the tax rate will be 24% of the incomes.
Due to this complicated tax system related to the rental incomes, we offer our tax advisement services in order to help you with your tax declarations.
