Do we need a solicitor to deal council tax & non residents tax?

Hi,

Do we need a solicitor to deal with our non resident tax and council tax? We have been paying them ever since we bought the property. We reside in the U.K.

Any light shed on this will be hugely appreciated!

Kind regards,

Jamie

Hi Jamie

It is advisable to hire a gestor if you do not come to Spain more than once a year. You can organise a Direct Debit with your Spanish Bank for the IBI Council Tax. Non-Residence Tax is a bit more difficult. I am a Resident and employ a Gestor to do my Annual Tax in Spain for Euros 50. Here is a link which you might find helpful.

Good Luck

Hi Nigel,

Thank you for the link. Looking into it now.

Do you use them to complete the non residence tax? I.e. Are they easy to use/ work with?

Kind regards,

Jamie

Hi Jimbob34

If you have had your solicitor make your non-residency returns you will then have copies of the returns he / she has made on your behalf,

Armed with a copy of the last return you have almost all the information you need to fill in your own non-residency return.

Once you have filled in the form 210 online, you just need to print them off and take them to your bank in Spain.

There is a lot of help on this forum regarding non-residency returns, and if you are not sure you only have to come back and ask a  question.

Hi

Thats brilliant advice. Thanks for the tips.

Kind regards,

Jamie

I have completed my non res tax form online however the form is in English. Will my bank except this form for payment of my tax.

Hi

No need for a solicitor as there is the council office opposite millenium for dealing with this service.
