Hi,
I hope someone can advise please.
I have a property which I rent short term. I am aware I have to pay income tax every quarter and there is an annual tax based on the cadastral value (due December)
My question is do you have to pay tax when the property is not rented out. (Non rental periods)
Hope my question is clear and not confusing as I am somewhat confused myself.
Thank you

Very helpful member
You pay council tax if rented or empty.

Julie, my understanding of the tax system for non residents is that you declare the number of days the property was rented for each quarter as well as the amount. For the annual tax you add up the number of days the property wasn’t rented and pay a tax based on the castral value and pro rata for the number of days it wasn’t rented. Eg if the property wasn’t rented for 30 days each quarter you would have to pay (30x4)/365 of the tax based on the castral value. I hope this is right.

Hi chris,
Thank you for the input, I now leave all the taxes to my letting agency. Think that's the easier option. Think you need to be an accountant to understand it all..🤣

I have a holiday home in Velez Malaga, i do not rent it out, i am aware that tax as to be paid if i rent my house. However i found out that tax has to be paid seperate based on non resident tax based on the catastral value of the house, i used a company called TAXADORA online they calculated and backdated the tax
i owed it wasn't a lot aprox €147 euros for 18 x months Taxadora do charge an admin fee which was included in my total invoice.
I still have to pay for my IBI rates which covers council tax and waste this is seperate from non resident tax this was aprox €150 euros.
Staff at your local town hall will give you help on what taxes have to be paid owning a property in Spain
I hope this Helps with your enquiry.
Warm Regards
