Hi Everyone -
I joined EOS hoping that I'd find a simple guide here to paying Non-Resident Income Tax in Spain (and completing/submitting the necessary forms and payments).
I'm sure that there's a lot of useful advice in other threads, but the thought of having to trawl through them all to try to extract what I need to know puts me off.
I own a small apartment on the Costa Tropical. In the past, I've paid an agent to do everything for me. The service hasn't been too expensive, but his fees have been roughly the same as the tax payable. So, if I do things myself this year, I should be able to cut the total cost in half.
I know it's a bit cheeky of me, but I thought it would be a good idea if someone with the necessary expertise and experience could write a simple "How To" guide, and post it somewhere on the site where newbies like myself could find it easily.
Any volunteers?
The kind of things that would be helpful to know are:
1) how to register, or check whether you're already registered, with the Spanish Tax Office;
2) how to work out which income taxes you're liable to pay as a non-resident;
3) when the taxes are due to be paid;
4) how to obtain the necessary tax forms (based on the answer to point 2 above);
5) how to obtain "stickers" for the forms, if required;
6) how to calculate the tax due and complete the forms;
7) where and how to submit the forms and pay the tax (listing all of the different options available, if possible).
Thanks in advance to anyone who feels like tackling this task. I'm sure that you'll earn the gratitude of not just myself but of many others in my position.
Kind regards
