The unfairnes of the Non-resident tax

Well,
It is quite unfair indeed, that just the ownership of a property might a generate a revenue that is completly fictitious. I don´t know if back in the UK there is a similar figure like this. But things where quite worse last year, when you had to fill form 214, because that form covered the Income Tax and the Heritage Tax.
The residents in Spain also paid the tax over this fictious revenue. The treatment given to the non-residents regarding the abolished Heritage Tax was really discriminating comparing to the residents. And the reason is because residents had an allowance under of its limit had no Heritage tax to pay, but non-resident had to pay this tax from the first euro they had in Spain.
So things have become a bit better.
