Spanish property tax, explained
What you actually pay when you buy, let and sell in Spain. Every figure is computed from versioned, dated reference tables, and every page says which version it used.
Renting out a Spanish property as a non-resident: what tax do you pay?
If you live in the EU or EEA you are taxed on your NET rent, after deductible costs. If you live outside it, including the UK since Brexit, you are taxed on the GROSS rent and you may deduct nothing at all.
What does it actually cost to buy a property in Spain?
Roughly a tenth of the price on top, in cash, and the region decides how much.
ITP: the transfer tax on a resale home in Spain, region by region
It is the largest single cost of buying, ahead of notary, registry and gestoria combined, and it varies by several points depending on which region the property sits in.
Selling a property in Spain: what do you actually keep?
The 3% is not an extra tax. It is an advance payment against your capital gains bill, and if it exceeds what you owe you claim the difference back.
Imputed income: the Spanish tax on a home you do not rent out
Spain treats a property that is neither your main residence nor let as producing a notional income, and taxes it. You file and pay even in a year the property earned you nothing.
Non-EU landlords and deductions: what the 2025 ruling actually changed
The Audiencia Nacional held in 2025 that refusing deductions to a non-EU landlord may breach the free movement of capital, which unlike most EU freedoms also protects third countries. The decision is under appeal, so the safe assumption remains that you cannot deduct.
