Modelo 210: Spain's tax for owners who live elsewhere

If you own a home in Spain but are not tax resident there, Spain expects a Modelo 210 every year. That applies even if the home is never rented and earns nothing.

The essentials

Who files
Anyone who owns property in Spain and is not tax resident there. Each co-owner files separately.
Used by you or standing empty
Spain taxes a notional income: 1.1% of the cadastral value if that value was revised in the last 10 years, otherwise 2%.
Rented out
The rent you received. Residents of the EU and EEA may deduct costs, others may not.
Tax rate
19% for residents of the EU and EEA, 24% for everyone else, including Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Deadlines
Own use: by 31 December of the following year. Rent: between 1 and 20 January of the following year.
