    Tax & Fiscal Guidance

    Why Tax Guidance Matters

    International buyers often underestimate how different Spain’s tax system can be from their home country. From non-resident income tax (IRNR) to wealth and solidarity taxes, obligations can add up quickly, and missing one can lead to costly penalties.

    Our job is to make sure that never happens. We take a hands-on approach: explaining exactly what applies to you, working out the best way to structure for your ownership, and then filing all the required documents on time.

    What We Cover

    We act as your trusted legal partner through every phase of your investment.

    1. Non-Resident Income Tax (IRNR)

    Whether your property is rented out or sitting empty, Spain requires annual filings. We prepare and submit the Modelo 210, applying the latest legal deductions, including those recently extended to non-EU investors.

    2. Wealth and Solidarity Taxes

    We calculate your net assets and ensure proper declaration through Modelo 715 and ITSGF, optimizing your holdings to avoid double taxation.

    3. Property Transfer and VAT

    We assess regional and local differences in Transfer Tax (ITP) and Value Added Tax (IVA) to help you get a clear idea of your budget and prevent overpayment.

    4. Annual Municipal Taxes

    We sort out the payment of “Impuesto sobre Bienes Inmuebles (IBI)” and verify that you’re not getting hit with any local charges or outstanding community debts that could affect your ownership.

    5. Strategic Planning

    We use a combination of entity structuring and residency timing to design a tax strategy that’s tailored to your long-term investment goals, whether that’s renting out for some extra income or getting your affairs in order for the future.

    How We Work

    We start by analysing your specific tax situation and working out which taxes you’re liable for.
    Then we look at different ownership structures (personal ownership, corporate or trust-based) to see which one will help you minimize your tax exposure.
    Next, we make sure all Spanish tax forms are filed on time and that we’re working in line with any double taxation treaties you may have with other countries.
    Finally, we keep an eye on any legal changes and let you know as soon as something new comes along that could make a difference to your situation.
    Our approach is all about looking at the bigger picture: we’re looking out for both your property and your global financial situation.
