For non-resident property owners in Spain, staying on top of your tax obligations is crucial to avoid penalties and ensure compliance with Spanish tax laws. Non-resident taxes are an unavoidable part of owning property in Spain, and with upcoming deadlines fast approaching, you need to take action now to get your taxes sorted in time. Here’s everything you need to know.
What Taxes Do Non-Residents Have to Pay?
If you’re a non-resident who owns property in Spain, there are a few key taxes you’ll need to be aware of:
1. Imputed Income Tax
Even if your property isn’t rented out and is only used for personal use (or remains empty), you’re still required to pay Imputed Income Tax. This tax is calculated based on the cadastral value of your property (a value assigned by the Spanish government for tax purposes). It’s essentially a tax on the potential income the property could generate.
- Deadline: For the 2023 tax year, you’ll need to file yours by 31st December 2024.
2. Rental Income Tax
If you rent out your property, either for short-term holiday lets or long-term rentals, you’re required to pay Rental Income Tax on the income earned. The rate is 24% for non-EU/EEA residents and 19% for EU/EEA residents. You can also deduct allowable expenses, such as maintenance costs or property management fees if you qualify.
- Deadline: The filing window for 2024 rental income tax is from 1st to 20th January 2025.
3. Capital Gains Tax
If you’ve sold your property in Spain, or if you’re about to sell, you’ll need to pay Capital Gains Tax if you’ve made a profit from the sale. The tax rate for Capital Gains Tax is set at 19%, regardless of your residency status (EU or non-EU). You’ll need to ensure that this is paid within 4 months of the sale date.

With two major deadlines looming, it’s important to act quickly to avoid penalties:
