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.

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

Re: padron
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
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....
