What Is Non-Resident Tax in Spain?
Spanish non-resident tax, or Impuesto sobre la Renta de No Residentes (IRNR), applies to individuals who own property or earn income in Spain but are not tax residents. This could include rental income, capital gains from property sales, or wealth tax on assets held in Spain.
At Prolanz Asesores, our mission is to guide expats in Lanzarote through the legal and financial nuances, ensuring they meet their obligations efficiently.
Tax Obligations for Non-Residents in Lanzarote
Understanding your tax obligations is crucial for non-residents in Lanzarote to avoid penalties and fines. One primary requirement is filing a tax return, known as Modelo 210, to report any income obtained in Lanzarote. This includes rental income, capital gains from property sales, and income from self-employment.
The tax payable is calculated based on the rateable value of your property, ensuring you meet your obligations under the Spanish tax system.
Income Tax for Non-Residents
Non-residents in Lanzarote are subject to income tax on their Spanish-sourced income. The tax rate is 19% for EU, Norway, and Iceland residents, while it is 24% for other countries. Your taxable income is determined based on the rateable value of your property.
Fortunately, non-residents can deduct certain expenses, such as mortgage interest and maintenance costs, from their taxable income, helping to optimize their tax liabilities.
Capital Gains Tax and Rental Income
Non-residents in Lanzarote must also pay capital gains tax on selling their Spanish property. Additionally, any rental income earned by non-residents is subject to income tax at the same rates.
Registration and Compliance
To comply with Spanish tax laws, non-residents must register for Spanish tax and obtain a Spanish tax code (NIF). This can be done online or in person at the tax office. Once registered, non-residents must submit their tax returns and pay tax on their Spanish-sourced income by December 31st each year. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in penalties and fines. Seeking professional advice can help you meet all your tax obligations and avoid legal issues.
Joint Ownership and Tax Declarations
If you own property in Spain jointly with another person, each joint owner must submit a separate tax return. This means both parties must file their tax returns and pay tax on their respective income shares.
Both owners must register for Spanish tax and obtain a Spanish tax code (NIF) to avoid penalties or fines. Proper registration and compliance ensure that your tax affairs are in order and meet all legal requirements.
