    Any individual living in Spain above 183 days with an income or capital gain wherever is legally responsible for filing a tax return. If you are a non-resident and a property owner, you are also obligated to file tax returns. With very few exceptions under these circumstances, the cutoff rate is 12.00€.

    The straightforward response is that residing in Spain above a hundred and eighty three (183) days (including random trips during one calendar year out of the country) makes you a tax resident.

    Every non-residents is required to pay tax on any income generated from property or resulting from any owned investment in Spain. Asset owners are taxed on the revenue generated from that assets or its value. If you fail to pay this tax, you will be penalized and charged by the Tax Agency.

    You will need the following documents:

    • Suma Bills for leased or personal resident properties
    • Date of purchase of the property

    NIE means ‘Numero Identification De Extranjero.’ NIE is a foreigner’s identification number. You must have an NIE number to be eligible to buy a property or a car in Spain. Getting an NIE number is relatively easy, but the process can be long as you will have to obtain one from the foreigner’s department of Spain’s National Police.
