Taxes for the owner.

Rental tax as a resident. If you are resident in Spain you have to declare your rental income annually with your annual tax declaration as a resident.

Rental tax as a non-resident. If you are a non-resident in Spain and you want to rent out your property, you must pay tax. This tax is called "Impuesto sobre el Alquiler" and must be paid every quarter (20th January, April, July and October), but only for the quarters in which income is received. This declaration must be submitted to the tax office in Spain.

Declaring the rental tax has some advantages:

• You will obviously be renting legally, and you will be able to advertise to get bookings safely and securely.
• You will be able to deduct some of the expenses you have on the property. For non-residents in Spain who are resident in other EU countries (plus Norway and Iceland, and now the UK) this type of income is assessed at 19%. Non-EU residents pay 24%.
