For Spanish Residents

As a property owner in Spain, you are required to declare any rental income you receive. In most cases, the type of tax declaration depends on your residency status. Therefore, understanding your tax obligations as a Spanish resident helps you stay compliant and avoid penalties.

  • First, your rental income must be declared in your IRPF (Personal Income Tax) as real estate capital gains.
  • Additionally, you can deduct expenses such as cleaning, maintenance, utilities, and commissions.
  • Finally, if your property is rented by days or weeks (without hotel services), no VAT applies. In conclusion, Spanish residents benefit from simple tax rules and clear deductions.
