Declaration of rental income

One of the most important changes has to do with declaring rental income. Previously, non-residents had to declare their rental income every three months. With the new rules, this is now done annually, which means less administrative work.

Another important change has to do with the way taxes are paid. Previously, you had to have a Spanish bank account to pay taxes. With the new rules, non-residents can now use SEPA bank accounts, providing more convenience and flexibility.
