Have just completed purchase on R7. I've been trying to make sense of all the taxation issues for non-residents, but every website gives different advice. Does anyone know if the properties are automatically registered with the tax authorities, or do we have to do this individually? As non-residents do we have to have a fiscal representative for IBI [property tax] purposes? How do we get a 'valor catastral', and if it sometimes takes years to get a value, what 'rates' do we pay in the meantime? What about the charges for 'basura'? It's all probably very simple, but everyone I speak to has a different view.
Can anyone help?
