This Return form is used to declare properties or usufructs (or other taxable rights) of individual persons who do not have permanent residence in Spain.

Even though no expense can be deducted, the number of days the party did not have ownership of the property, or had let the property, serves to reduce the number of days in the return. 

Deadline to file returns

The delay to file the returns and to make the payment, is one year starting on the date it is filed (December 31). When the payment is domiciled, the deadline is December 23rd of the natural year following the date the return is filed.

This tax is used to declare profits or losses related to the conveyance of a property in Spain.

When a non-resident transfers a property in Spain, 3% of the transfer price is withheld. If the seller can prove that he/she has suffered a loss in the transaction, said party can recover all or part of the 3% that was withheld by the notary public in the way of income tax on non-residents. To be able to claim and this recover this money, the party must have no taxes pending payment. This covers any/all taxes affecting non-residents.  

Should the transaction generate a profit to the seller, said profit must be declared and, if necessary, pay the difference between the full profit, and pay a 3% of the price that has already been withheld as Income tax return.
