Non-Resident Income Tax.
The IRNR is a tax that charges the incomes obtained by natural person in Spain not being resident in this country. It has to be done every year by filling an specific tax return to the Spanish Authorities.
​
Fiscal Identification Number and Tax Registration.
Everyone in Spain is assigned a Fiscal Identification Number which is used for all tax returns and correspondence with the Tax Administration. For non-residents, the fiscal identification number is what is called NIE which can be obtained at the local General Directorate of Police. When a property is owned by a married couple or by various persons, each of the owners is considered as an independent taxpayer and then each coowner must fill in a tax return. If you do not have your own NIE number, and want Resortalia to apply for it, our service would cost 116 Euros VAT included per person, and if you have NIE but has not previously registered on the Spanish Tax Authorities that would cost you 50 Euros VAT included per person.
