Spanish Tax on non rental holiday home

Its Non Residential Tax, and it payable on your property if you rent it out or not, there is a small fine if its not paid by end of December.

If you dont pay it , when you sell your property the money will be withheld and paid out of the sale of the property plus fines for each year. 

If your from the UK its advisable to pay it now as the rate is higher for non EU country which will include the UK from next year. 

best to consult a qualified gestora to do this for you every year to avoid the fines.

Tony is correct. If you own property in Spain, you have to pay tax on it, whether as resident or non-resident. If you are resident in Spain and own property in the U.K. you have to pay tax on that too!

Hi Andrew

In answer to your question about whether other holiday home owners pay this tax, I for one do.  However, from speaking to other holiday home owners I suspect I might be in the minority.

Thanks everyone, appreciate your words of wisdom.  It's an insignificant amount in the grand scheme of things, I only have a small apartment so not worth getting into hot water over not paying. 

Thanks

I think your find you do  best to pay or they will fine you. We have just bought our solicitor has said the same.
