Madrid, February 19, 2024.- This month of February marks the implementation of two significant changes in the Spanish tax system, aimed especially at non-resident and expatriate owners. These updates, focused on the declaration and payment of income tax for non-residents (Form 210), simplify procedures and reduce administrative burdens, showing progress in the accessibility of the tax system for this group. Simplification in the declaration of income by Rental: The new regulations allow non-resident landlords to report rental income annually instead of quarterly. Implemented through Order HAC/56/2024, this measure comes into force for the 2024 tax year, establishing the declaration period from January 1 to 20, 2025.
