hi all, being a non resident and buying in spain this year im finding my feet regarding all the bills and things.
am i right to believe that a non resident has to fill out a form 210 each year.
i have i believe the ratable value from the town hall, sent to me by my solicitor
my wife and i have ni numbers for spain.
so can someone advise me of when the form and payments are due i believe once completed its paid in my bank.
i also believe you can do it yourself but can anyone recommend a tax advisor ect to complete the form for me

thanks guys

Yes it is form 210 and the amount you pay will be 1.1% of the Catastral Value of your house, then 24.75% of that figure. It is normally paid Nov/Dec time, you shouldn't have to pay this year but will be liable next year. I use a firm based in the UK who charge £24.95 for this service.

Hope this helps a bit.

It's no longer a form as such, it is a tax declaration completed on your PC from a small app downloaded from the AEAT site.

When completed it verifies that all entries are correct and you can save the data as a .pdf file and print it out to take to the bank. If you have a digital certificate you can submit it online.

You can download it, in English, at

Not sure if we are allowed to advertise on here but the firm is http://spanishtaxforms.co.uk/.

Sorry to admin if I broke any rules

Fred James

No you didn't. If you post a recommendation in response to a specific request for that information that's allowed. What you can't do is post a recommendation on its own as that will be treated as advertising.

The reason your post didn't appear at first is that for new members who post a URL link, it might be Spam so the post has to be approved by a mod before it will appear.

Thankyou for explaining

stephen, Non Resident Tax is due from 1st January each year, for the previous tax year. Payment can occur at any time in the 365 days as long as it is within the payment period. In your case, if you purchase this year, there will be a small amount of Non Resident Tax to pay in 2014. Some businesses offer ony to perform an incomplete service ie. they dont pay the tax, the taxpayer is expected to complete the process of payment themselves. This is not the case with Angar Taxation Service SL, a spanish registered company. Good luck with your purchase.

Fred ... we've been paying exorbitant sums to our (Spanish) solicitors to do the payments for us but your pdf suggestion seems relatively straightforward. On UK sites such as this there would usually be some kind of explanatory notes for each and every point to avoid mistakes. Do such notes appear in Engish anywhere on the site you've quoted?

Where would you look for the catastral value please? For the last 8 years our solicitor has done this for us at an increasing cost, this year is was 130€ for each of us! So if it can be done so easily I would rather save the 260€ or more I will be expecting this coming year. We get nothing about how much it is from the solicitor exect a email to say they have submitted it on our behalf and then later in the year an amount is taken from our bank.

Fred James

I think you will find that this link covers it pretty well-

I've just taken a look at the english link and the form. It appears to be an exact duplicate of the spanish one!

I think its one of the many companies who purport to aid in submitting official forms, like passports, driving licence etc. All you are doing is filling out the official form on a non-government site. They then charge you for forwarding it on, in this case 25 quid. Still £25 is cheaper than 260€!

The catastral value appears on your IBI bill.

Bri and Katee

Thank you Lynn, but we have never received a bill! The paperwork has always been carried out by our solicitor ( a reputable one by the way) they take their payment from our bank in february, then around/august september each year an amount goes out as tax. This is documented on the bank slip we receive. We have never had any bill sent to us either here in Spain or back in the UK.
