When is a person considered a non-resident in Spain?

A person falls into the category of non-resident in Spain if they live less than 183 days a year in the country and do not have a tax residence there.


Amount of the Non-Resident Income Tax (IRNR)

Non-residents in Spain who own real estate for their own use in Spain must pay the Non-Resident Income Tax (IRNR).
This tax is paid every year, before 31 December, using form no. 210.
It is calculated based on the cadastral value of the property.

How to calculate it?
Multiply the cadastral value of the property by 1.1% (or by 2% if the cadastral value has not been updated).
From this amount, the tax rate will be:
19% for citizens of the European Union and the European Economic Area
24% for non-European citizens



Example of calculation of the tax to be paid:
Mr. X, resident in Paris (France), owns an apartment in Alicante where he spends his holidays and which remains unoccupied the rest of the year. The updated cadastral value of the apartment is €100,000.

Cadastral value of the apartment €100,000.
Taxable base: €100,000 x 1.1% = €1,100.
Amount to be paid: €1,100 x 19% = €209
