Spanish taxes for NON-Residents
Frequently asked questions
This is a tax levied on income obtained in Spanish territory by individuals and entities that do not reside here.
You are taxed differently if you are a tax resident in Spain, or if you are considered a non-resident foreigner.
If you are considered a tax resident in Spain, you will be taxed here for your worldwide income. On the other hand, if you are considered a non-resident foreigner, you will only be taxed in Spain for the income and yields obtained in Spanish territory.
The requirements foreseen in the Law for a foreigner to be obliged to pay taxes and file a tax return in Spain are as follows:
- Stay in Spain for more than 183 days in the calendar year (the equivalent of 6 months). To determine this period of stay, sporadic absences will be calculated.
- The main economic activity is located directly or indirectly in Spain. Unless otherwise approved.
- That the spouse is not legally separated and the minor children reside in Spain.
- Diplomats, consular members, and Spanish officials abroad are subject to special conditions and are considered to be tax residents in Spain.
Below, we analyze some examples in which the tax is payable by non-residents and is necessary to be taxed.
The wealth tax is levied on the net worth of individuals. The net worth is the set of goods and rights of economic content to which it is the holder, with deduction of the charges and encumbrances that diminish its value, as well as of the debts and personal obligations to which it must respond.
Individuals resident in Spanish territory are subject to the tax “by personal obligation”. On the other hand, non-resident companies are subject to the tax “by real obligation”.
Wealth tax is payable on the total net worth regardless of where the assets are located, or the rights are exercised (called worldwide wealth).
Normatively, an exempt minimum of 700,000 euros is established, applicable to non-residents subject to a real obligation to contribute.
Wealth tax is accrued on December 31 of each year and will affect the assets owned on the date of accrual.
When determining the taxation for such a tax, it will also be necessary to take into account certain applicable exemptions, such as the applicability of double taxation agreements between countries, as well as the specialties provided for in the different regulations.
