Online 210 form - questions.

Thanks boys. Just looking at Form 210 - sorry to ask the obvious but the form is a bit confusing. Some points I am unclear on:

Accural: I have not bought yet but if I just did now would I pay for the whole year or 1st Quarter, 2nd etc and what would the accural year be now 2014 or 2015? Do I click 'Grouping' (whatever that means) and what would be the accural date from, say, today?

INCOME TYPE: I do not have a Spanish income (in Spain) so would I choose 'exempt'?

210 R Income: Just a holiday home so what do I fill in here, all or just section 06 (I assume)?

Settlement: Tick 19 & 20?

Tax Rate Law (questions 21 to 31) Is this for me to fill out as it is double dutch!

Receipt number from previous self assessment: do I put n/a?

Choose the type of tax return: Love to put Zero Tax Payable but I assume this has to be TO DEPOSIT?

So then when I click validate & generate PDF am I taken to a payment  page or do I need to take/send in the printed PDF to spain?

Sorry for the questions but this will be a huge relief to me - I hate fines!!

Many thanks in advance.

Just buy first! You'll have many other things to worry about before you are required to pay this!

The way Spanish tax forms etc are it will have all changed before you need to submit your 210 or whatever they call it next year. You pay the tax a year in arrears. It used to be called the 214 form!

That's what I thought. Things are a changing maybe. Do I need a Spanish bank aaccount before I buy or do I just BACS the funds from my Lloyds account to my Spanish solicitor to do the bits & bobs?

But I can buy first then open the account as obviously I need a Spanish address to open the account. Catch 22?

Maybe you are overthinking this whole process, batbrit. Find your house/flat or whatever. Start the buying process with a small deposit on perhaps a debit card/ credit card from your UK bank (mention to them that you will be using the card in Spain first). Open a Spanish Bank account with that address. You will get help from the estate agent/gestor. You may not even need to put down a deposit first as I very much doubt if someone else is going to come along and snap it up before you have transferred your money over to your bank account!

As more says, don't worry about the form 210, you can get the gestor to sort out all utilities, dd's and the tax for the first year or so. The non-resident tax is not overly expensive anyway, same with IBI.

Simple really!

I think you're right, lol. Going there soon for a rekky - see what happens.

Peace
