This non-resident tax issue can be confusing. There is no equivalent in the UK, and no one from the tax office informs non-residents of their obligation to pay the tax and submit the form. In fact, a lot of homeowners are oblivious to the requirement or think they have already paid.
This is because they have paid local property taxes: Impuestos sobre Bienes Inmeubles (“IBI”). But IBI is another tax that has to be paid by all property owners, residents and non-residents alike. It is set and collected by the town hall, very similar to council tax in the UK. It is usually collected every autumn and you get the amount on an IBI statement through the post.
We can assist you with the self-assessment, if you wish. The fee is 150,- euro per form and includes VAT, information, calculating and filling out the forms and paying the tax on your behalf.
This has to be paid before the 31st December 2016, for the year of 2015, hence we would prefer to be ready by the end of November, so we have time to complete the forms in good time before they have to be paid.
