Your Spanish tax filing obligations depend on your tax residence, income, assets and personal circumstances. Moving away from Spain—or paying tax in another country—does not automatically end every Spanish filing obligation.
We help individuals assess and meet their Spanish tax filing and reporting obligations, including personal income tax and non-resident filings where relevant. For US, Canadian and other cross-border situations, we can coordinate the Spanish tax work with your existing tax adviser in the other country. Each engagement is tailored to the facts of the case.

Our work in practice
Coordinating relief across Spain and the United States
After Spain rejected a foreign tax credit, we coordinated with the client’s US advisor on an amended US return. The client obtained the credit in the United States; the Spanish adjustment and penalty were not reversed by that work.

Frequently asked questions about tax returns in Spain
Do I need to file a Spanish income tax return (Renta / IRPF)?
Not every Spanish tax resident has the same filing obligation. The requirement depends on your income, its sources, the applicable thresholds and any other circumstances that create an obligation to file.
The filing timetable is set for each annual campaign. We can review whether you need to file and which information is required. Explore Spanish Tax Returns (Renta / IRPF).
What determines Spanish tax residence?
Tax residence depends on your circumstances, not simply your arrival month. The time spent in Spain, economic interests, relevant family circumstances and any applicable tax treaty may all matter.
Assess your residence position before deciding which Spanish returns and tax treatment apply. Explore Before Moving to Spain or Arriving in Spain.
When do I have to file Form 210 (Modelo 210)?
Form 210 deadlines depend on the type of income, tax year and result of the return. Property sales, rental income and imputed property income follow different rules.
For 2026 rental income grouped annually, the filing and payment period is 1–20 April 2027. Transitional rules apply to separately declared rental income during 2026. Do not apply this deadline to every Form 210.
Check the AEAT timetable for your specific income; direct-debit cut-offs can be earlier.
