Hi all,
In another thread there is a guidance form called 'Instructions for filling in your self-assessment form: Non-Resident Income Tax'. It's very useful, but my problem relates to the section that deals with calculating the taxable base. Specifically, whether to use the 2.0% or the 1.1% multiplier.
The firm that prepares my 210 form says that in my municipal area (Orihuela Costa) cadastral values as a whole have not been re-assessed for more than ten years, and therefore I should pay tax on 2% of the cadastral value.
However, my 2016 IBI receipt (and several previous years' receipts for that matter) shows a cadastral value which increases a little each year, and is now 40-odd percent higher than the original 11-year old value. Additionally, the calculation of each year's IBI bill has been based each year on the increasing cadastral value.
So my argument is that my 2016 tax should be:
a) based on the IBI 2016 cadastral value x 1.1% x 19%.
as opposed to
b) based on the IBI 2005 cadastral value x 2.0% x 19%).
As it happens, the firm that I use have prepared forms as follows:
c) based on IBI 2016 cadastral value x 2.0% x 19%. That's the worst of both worlds and surely can't be right.
Can anyone offer me their opinion or any suggestions?
Thanks,
Noddy.
