Tax representation for non-residents
As a non-resident, selling your Spanish property comes with obligations before the Spanish Tax Agency that do not end at the notary. CAUSA.E acts as your tax representative in Spain and handles them for you.
What the law requires
Ignoring them is costly: surcharges, penalties and a 3% withholding that is never recovered.
Depending on your country of residence and circumstances, Spanish law requires you to appoint a representative before the Tax Agency. In every case, you need someone in Spain accountable for your obligations. That is our role.
At signing, the buyer withholds 3% of the price and pays it to the Tax Agency with Modelo 211. That money is yours: a payment on account of your tax.
Modelo 210 declares the result of your sale. It is where the 3% withheld is offset and, if it exceeds the tax due, where it is recovered.
The key filing
A Modelo 210 correctly calculated and filed on time is the difference between closing your sale with peace of mind and carrying a problem with the Tax Agency.
Acquisition and sale values, deductible costs and the result of the transaction.
We file Modelo 210 on your behalf, on time.
We deal with the Tax Agency until your case is closed, including the refund of the 3% where applicable.
Comprehensive advice
Before signing, we check that the deed of sale meets every legal requirement. You arrive at the notary without surprises and leave with your tax obligations in expert hands.
