Overview of all property taxes in Spain: IBI, non-resident tax, wealth tax and rental income.
Annual taxes
IBI (Impuesto sobre Bienes Inmuebles)
IBI is Spain's local property tax, similar to council tax. The amount depends on the cadastral value:
- Rate: 0.4-1.1% of cadastral value
- Payment: annually, via bank or town hall
- Cadastral value is typically 30-50% of market value
Example: cadastral value €100,000 → IBI approximately €500-800/year
Non-resident tax (IRNR)
If you don't live in Spain but own property, you pay annual tax on imputed income:
- Base: 1.1-2% of cadastral value
- Rate: 19% for EU citizens, 24% for non-EU
- Payment: annually via modelo 210
Example (EU): cadastral value €100,000 × 1.1% = €1,100 × 19% = €209/year
Wealth tax (Impuesto sobre el Patrimonio)
- Exemption: €700,000 (for non-residents)
- Rate: 0.2-3.5% on the portion above the exemption
- Only relevant for more expensive properties
Tax on rental income
EU citizens
- Rate: 19%
- Deductible expenses: mortgage interest, IBI, community fees, repairs, insurance, depreciation (3%)
- You only pay tax on net rental income
Non-EU citizens
- Rate: 24%
- No expense deduction — tax on gross rental income
Tax on sale (plusvalía)
Municipal plusvalía
A tax on the increase in land value, calculated by the municipality. Amount depends on the ownership period and cadastral land value.
Capital gains tax
- Non-residents (EU): 19% on profit
- Non-residents (non-EU): 24% on profit
- Residents: progressive rate 19-28%
Double taxation treaties
Many countries have double taxation treaties with Spain, preventing you from being taxed twice on the same income. Always consult a tax advisor for your specific situation.
