Your Step-by-Step Guide to Using EasySpanishTax

Filing your Spanish non-resident property tax does not have to be complicated.

At EasySpanishTax.com, we have made the process simple, secure and easy to understand. Whether you own a holiday home in Spain, rent out your property or share ownership with your partner, our online system guides you through the information needed to prepare your Modelo 210 tax declaration.

Follow this guide to complete your declaration in just a few simple steps.

  1. Choose the Correct Tax Declaration

    Click Start Modelo 210 Declaration and choose the service that applies to your situation.

    Non-Resident Property Tax, Modelo 210

    Select this option if you own a property in Spain that is used for personal holidays, stays by family or friends, or is otherwise available for your own use and not rented out.

    Rental Income Tax, Modelo 210

    Select this option if you receive income from renting your Spanish property, whether through holiday rentals or longer-term tenancy agreements.

    If you rent out your property for only part of the year, you may need to declare both the rental income and the imputed income for the days when the property was not rented.

    Number of owners and tax year

    On the same page, select how many people own the property and the year for which you want to submit the declaration. For example, if you are declaring imputed property income for 2025, select 2025 as the tax year.

    For non-rented property, the declaration is normally submitted during the calendar year following the tax year.

    Important: Rental income may have different reporting periods and deadlines depending on the year concerned and the applicable filing rules. Always check that you have selected the correct tax year before continuing.

  2. Enter Your Personal Information

    The next step is to provide your personal details. You may be asked to enter:

    • Full name, exactly as shown on your identification documents.
    • NIE number, your Spanish foreigner identification number.
    • Country of tax residence.
    • Residential address outside Spain.
    • Email address and contact details.

    Important: Make sure your NIE number and name are entered correctly. Incorrect information may cause problems when preparing or submitting your tax declaration.

    Ownership share

    If you own your Spanish property together with another person, enter the details of each owner and indicate the ownership percentages. For example:

    • One owner: 100% ownership.
    • Two equal owners: 50% each.
    • Three owners: Enter the percentage belonging to each owner.

    Each non-resident owner normally needs a separate Modelo 210 declaration for their share of the taxable income. Make sure the ownership percentages match the Spanish title deed, Escritura.

  3. Enter Your Spanish Property Details

    You will now need to provide information about your property in Spain. Have your latest IBI receipt available before starting. You may need the following information:

    Property address

    Enter the full address of your Spanish property, including the street, building, apartment number, postcode, municipality and province.

    Cadastral reference, Referencia Catastral

    This is the unique identification number assigned to your property by the Spanish Cadastre. You can normally find it on your IBI receipt or your property documentation.

    Cadastral value, Valor Catastral

    The cadastral value is the official administrative value assigned to your property. It is used to calculate certain Spanish property taxes. You will normally find it on your annual IBI receipt.

    Do not confuse the cadastral value with the market value or the price you paid for your property.

    Tip: If you are unsure where to find these details, visit our help article, Cadastral Number and Cadastral Value.

    Your estimated tax

    If your property is not rented out, your tax is generally calculated using its cadastral value. At the bottom of this page you will see your estimated tax. The calculation takes into account factors such as:

    • The cadastral value of the property.
    • The applicable imputed income percentage, normally 1.1% or 2%.
    • Your ownership percentage.
    • The number of days the property was owned or available for personal use.
    • Your tax residence and applicable tax rate.

    The general non-resident income tax rate is 19% for qualifying EU, Icelandic and Norwegian residents, and 24% for other non-residents, subject to applicable rules.

    You can also use our Free Modelo 210 Calculator to estimate the amount before starting your declaration.

  4. Complete Your Rental Income Information

    If you rent out your Spanish property, you will need to enter details of the rental income received during the relevant tax period. Prepare the following information:

    Total rental income

    Enter the gross rental income received from guests or tenants.

    Rental period

    Provide the dates or number of days your property was rented out.

    Deductible expenses

    Depending on your tax residence and the applicable tax rules, certain expenses directly connected with the rental activity may be deductible. These may include eligible portions of agency fees, maintenance, insurance, community fees, IBI and other qualifying expenses.

    Not all non-residents are entitled to deduct expenses, and not every property expense is automatically deductible.

    Important: Keep invoices and supporting documentation for all expenses claimed. If your property was rented for only part of the year, the remaining days may also give rise to imputed non-resident property income.

    Before continuing to payment, carefully review the information entered. Check that your name, NIE number, property address, cadastral reference, ownership percentage, tax year, income and expenses are correct.

    Pay particular attention to the cadastral value and the selected tax year, as these can affect the final calculation. If you discover an error, return to the relevant section and correct it before proceeding.

  8. Access Your Account and Saved Declarations

    One of the benefits of EasySpanishTax is that your account is created automatically and your declaration information is saved for future use. When you return to prepare your next declaration, your previously entered details can be reused.

    You should still review your information every year, particularly if you have changed address, sold part of the property, changed ownership percentages or started renting it out. This makes completing your future declarations faster and easier.
