Hello,

this question has probably been asked before, but being new to the forum I’m going to ask it anyway.

I’m a non resident with a property in Lanzarote, counted as part of Spain. I do not have a tourist licence for my property and I am only liable for the non resident tax as expained in SPI, Spanish Property Tax for non residents. I can calculate the figures and have found an online copy of the Form 210, which with a bit of work I should be able to complete.

What I need to know is – when I have completed the form, or forms as it was 5 years ago that I bought the property, what do I do with them?

Once completed, you can take them yourself to the Hacienda in your nearest City and hand them in.

Are you not liable for ‘Wealth Tax’ as well?

Should you not be using Form 214?

You should be able to pay the amounts due at your Spanish bank, but amazingly, you can only do so in cash. The AEAT will not accept cheques, direct debits or debit cards, even on Spanish bank accounts. Nor can you now pay in the UK, this facility (limited to London), having been recently withdrawn for some reason. I am currently taking these matters up with the European Commission but so far with no success.

Is this correct? For the past 4 years I have been paying quarterly rental income tax and annual rental and wealth tax by completeing the on-line forms, attaching my sticky label barcodes, inserting tthem into the official envelopes and then posting them to my bank instructing them to pay the amounts indicated.

Has this now changed?

[Arthur Stuttard]

If they are still accepting payments that way, keep on doing so. The jobsworths in Tenerife won’t allow me to do that.

If thats the case no more tax!

Since i seem to be the only Brit in the village who pays it anyway, it would mean a 100% reduction in income for the hacienda.
