This video talks about a tax that is not that obvious when you buy a property in Spain. It's a tax based on your property/holiday home value and is payable every year even if you are not earning an income from it.
It is based on the cadastral value of your property and the calculation is 1.1% of the cadastral value if revised. If not revised the calculation will be 2%.
So 1.1% or 2% of the cadastral value would be the amount and then 19% of that figure for EU member states and 24% for third countries like the UK as we left the EU in 2021. The tax is paid in arrears so it will be the tax return for 2022 when the UK will pay 24% for the 2021 tax year.
This video explains this in detail.
Example for a property with a cadastral value of: €100,000 (with the revised calculation of 1.1%)
So, 1.1% of €100,000 = €1100 to obtain the taxable amount and
19% of €1100 = €209 this is the annual tax payable for EU members
24% to €1100 = €264 this is the annual tax payable for third countries like the UK
We also talk about who can help you fill in the forms and present them to the tax office. This company is the cheapest I have found.
spanishtaxforms.co.uk/
They charge £34.95 per property and will also present the forms to the bank for £12 per person.
Some will prefer to use their own solicitor or fiscal representative Solicitors can typically charge around €60 per person.

Thanks for the video. Now let me see if I can further help: 1. Different tax amounts are paid in different areas, so I am going to focus in Torrevieja. 2. Non-resident means you live in Spain less than 183 days per year. If you live in Spain 183 days or more, you are a resident. This has nothing to do with your nationality. 3. Taxes are reviewed almost every year, so you need to be on top of that. IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT: Every year you pay 3 taxes: IBI, trash, and water. IBI can change very year but it´s about 0.41% of the "catastro" value (declared value). Trash is about 40ish euro per year, and water depends on where you live in Torrevieja. IF YOU ARE NOT A RESIDENT: Besides IBI, trash, and water: - If you OWN the property: You pay the "IRNR" (A.K.A "because we said so"). If you property value was checked within the last 10 years, you pay 1.1%. If it wasn´t, you pay 2%. You pay this once per year, starting from the next year after you moved. - If you RENT the property: You pay 19% over your rent (if you are an EU citizen), or 24% over your rent (if you are non-EU, including UK citizens). You pay per quarter. In both cases, use the model 210: www.agenciatributaria.gob.es/AEAT.sede/procedimientoini/GF00.shtml (Spanish) THIS IS JUST INFO, NO FINANCIAL ADVICE.

Hi John, thanks for watching and your nice comments. As far as we understand it, the 24% I.e. €264 is the total amount of tax payable divided by the number of owners of the property.

Hi, We bought in 2017 just before we learned of the full repercussions of BREXIT. We went ahead anyway as we loved Spain and we would tolerate the 90 days in and 90 days out that Brexit would bring.

Meanwhile, we will continue to spend as much time in Spain as we can. Thanks for watching and your comment. Best wishes, Mike and Yvonne.

@@BetweenTheLakes Thank you so much for your kind reply. If you knew all the difficulties of buying and owning a home in Spain post Brexit, would you still have gone through with it? I have also considered Italy and Greece but I’ve never lived in those countries before so I don’t really know anyone there who can help me weigh out the pluses and minuses of each so that I might make a more informed decision. The biggest reasons Spain is my first choice is because I’ve spent more time there and recently heard that foreigners aren’t allowed to buy cars in Italy although I think there must be a way round it. Also, I use Idealista to compare the housing market of the region which doesn’t include Greece. Thanks again and I hope to see you in Spain soon.

Here in France, this is known as the "taxe foncière" which is paid by the owner of the property. Over and above this is the "taxe d'habitation", or local rates which are paid by the tenant. If you are one and the same, you end up paying both. Fortunately, my house is in a small village in a backwater department in Burgundy, so I end up paying around €400 per annum.

It is so nice to be in contact with British nationals who live in Europe, abide by the rules and sort out all of their official paperwork. In France, the government made the change of residence cards amazingly easy. After reading about the problems faced by EU citizens in the UK I was horrified at what some of them have to go through. The idea of having to suddenly leave a country where I have lived for 47 years would have been inimaginable.

Hi Alan, you are not the only one who has missed this information. It is nothing to do with Suma or maintenance payments. It is a non resident tax payable on property owned by non residents of Spain. It is not expensive and worth paying for peace of mind and to prevent problems when you come to sell your property or pass it on to relatives after you have gone. Have a word with your solicitor or fiscal representative for clarity in your case, you are not that far behind and it wouldn't cost much to catch up. It is payable in arrears so we have just paid for 2021, next year we will pay for this year. Thanks for watching and your comment which many will benefit from. All the best, Mike and Yvonne.

Thanks for the information. Like you, we were totally unaware of this 'non-Residents' tax and have now been served notice by the Tax authorities, that we are several years overdue. We recently visited a local gestor and they calculated the Taxes due. However the formula they told us is correct, uses a 2% of Catastoral value ( and not the 1.1% you use in your example), which clearly results in almost twice the anual non-resident taxes due. I assume this rate is the same for all regions of Spain, since I assume this is Federal. Does anyone know if this is the case and if the 2% (and not the 1.1%) is actually correct?

I wondered since you did this this video, if you have found out (or know of anyone who has), how to complete the Non Resident Tax form online with the tax office? I would like to know more on how to complete it for myself? The info I have gathered so far is that you need to register online to apply for a digital ID, once you have that, you can complete your 210 form and submit it etc? I am currently paying fee of 120.00€ for a fiscal rep to do this for me and the Non Res Tax. I also understand for 2020, the tax rate on this is 19%, for residents of the EU, Norway and Iceland, but as we are no longer members of the EU, it will mean it will be 24% for 2021?

Hi Minkyflicker, No that is the total owed on a property with a cadestral value of €100,000. So next year when it goes up to 24% it will be €264 plus the form filling and presenting to the bank etc. If you use: www.spanishtaxforms.co.uk they will charge you £34.95 plus £12 per person to complete the forms and pay the tax. So in totalnit will be £58.95 for two (if it's joint owners) plus the tax at €264. We don't pay that much as our property's cadastral value is less than €40,000 so we paid well below less than half that much. The tax should be split between joint owners as far as we understand see: spanishtaxforms.co.uk/spanish-property.html everything is explained very well here...Cheers, Mike and Yvonne.

Hi Martin. Thanks for watching and commenting. It's not a lot of money the tax, it shouldn't put you off wonderful Spain. When you consider how much council tax we pay in the UK it really is a fraction of that. All the best Mike and Yvonne.

@@BetweenTheLakes yes the tax was there at a 19% rate. Taking your same example for third countries the annual expenditure is around 26% more ((264-209)/209) for third countries which is not insignificant…

@@Garcwyn Hi Gabs. Yes, I didn't quite grasp your point about the rate going up for third countries of which we now are so I'm with you on that. Cheers, Mike.

Hi Marty, thanks for watching and commenting. We are happy to pay all taxes in Spain as they are of great value compared to what we are used to in the UK. Our objective with this was to make people aware of the tax as lots of people don't know about it. Yes, it is not a lot but we like to inform people about things they would otherwise not be aware of. Sorry you thought we delivered the message with sour faces. Lots of people who come to Spain to retire live off their pensions and count their costs. Hope you understand. Best wishes, Mike and Yvonne.

Well you should have done your homework. They were looking for a property for you. They weren't there to dot your I's and cross your t's.

Hi Deano2691, thanks for watching and commenting. Really appreciate your feedback. We are not complaining about the tax or the way we found out about it. We are simply telling people about a cost that very few know about when they set out to buy a property in Spain. Best wishes, Mike and Yvonne.
