Personal Income Tax in Spain
Who is considered liable for income tax in Spain? When and where should income tax be paid? What Spanish tax allowances and credits are there?
A person becomes liable for tax as a resident of Spain if:
- they spend more than 183 cumulative days in one calendar year in Spain, that is: 1 January to 31 December, which is the tax year. They become liable whether or not they formally register in the Registro Central de Extranjeros
- OR their "centre of economic interests" is in Spain, that is: the base for their economic or professional activities is in Spain
- OR their "centre of vital interests" is in Spain, that is: their spouse lives in Spain and they are not legally separated, and/or their dependent minor children live in Spain
In Spain, an individual is either resident or not resident for the whole tax year.
A resident of Spain is liable for tax on their worldwide income at scale rates after any available allowances and deductions.
A non-resident of Spain is liable for Spanish income tax only on Spanish income, generally at fixed rates and with no allowances or deductions.
