How to complete a Spanish Tax report
Every owner of a property in Spain must every year prepare a Spanish tax report and present to the Spanish authorities.
We at BestinSpain.net have a service for our customers and we are using a special tax-specialist to do this service. There are often changes in the Spanish laws regarding taxes and you really have to be updated to do everything correct. And everything is in Spanish, not easy for non Spanish speakers. It is even difficult for many Spanish people who also opt to use a tax-specialist.
The owners of properties in Spain have to prepare their first tax report the year after they bought the property and became the official owner. For example if the property was bought in year 2016, the Spanish tax report has to be prepared and presented the following year (e.g. 2017), before 31st of December.
