Owning property in Spain: basic tax obligations

By Ignacio Capote Cánovas - Octubre 2026

Buying a home in Spain involves some tax obligations worth knowing, especially if you live abroad.

If you aren't a tax resident in Spain, you may have to declare tax on your home even if you don't let it. You'll also pay the annual IBI and, if you let or sell it, meet the corresponding tax obligations.

Tax advice. Every situation is different and tax residence affects the applicable taxes. Good planning helps you meet your obligations with peace of mind and avoid unnecessary costs.
