padron
 

Hi can anyone explain padron for me?,:confused:

Re: padron
 

It's a bit like a misspelling of the word Pardon.

What else do you want to know?

Re: padron
 

You need to sign on the padron in order for your town to receive money from the central government, it also proves that you are a resident in the town.

We are non-resident but as soon as I had bought my plot I registered on the Padron as I understand it is used inthe Government formula to decide the level of local funding. I would like to know if I become resident later this year will I qualify for a reduction in local taxes (IBI).

Re: padron
 

I know lots of people that have survived without an NIE or padron or residencia, but they are now in the last few years wanted for a lot of things.

Re: padron
 

As I understand it, there is NO reduction.

Re: padron
 

In our village we get up to 75% off our car tax when registered on the padron :D

Re: padron
 

it does depend where you live though - our town actively encourages non-resident property owners to register

You certainly don't have to have residencia to get empadronamiento, but you do need empadronamiento to get residencia - which in turn entitles you (probably among other things) to exemption from non-residents tax (don't know the Spanish name) which in our case for the year was over 1300 euros & even though OH won't be getting residencia any time soon....still awaiting confirmation on the wealth tax (patrimonio) situation:frown: me having residencia would cut that to 650ish. Apart from different ayuntamientos' attitude to encouraging estranjeros to sign up for empadronamiento, as Lynnxa said, I can't see any of this having regional variations because (local rates notwithstanding) income/etc tax is tax & that's national.

Believe the car tax reduction locally also applies here, so maybe that's a common one....
