Non-Residents in Spain: Income from leased property

A house in de middle of Spain

The income to be declared will be the whole amount received from the lessee, without deducting any expenses.

However, in the case of taxpayers resident in another European Union member state and, from 1 January 2015, also in Iceland and Norway, they may deduct the expenses provided for in the Personal Income Tax Act for the determination of the gross tax base, provided that it is certified that such expenses are directly related to the incomes obtained in Spain and have a direct and indissociable link with the activity performed in Spain.

This income is understood to accrue when it is requirable by the lessor or on the collection date, if earlier.

·         With result nil: from 1 to 20 January of the year following the accrual year for the declared income.

 

·         With refund result: as of 1 February of the year following the accrual of the income declared and within a period of four years from the end of the period for filing the return and depositing the withholding.
