Tax Obligations for Holiday Rentals
If you decide to rent out your property for tourist accommodation, it is important to bear in mind that the income generated is subject to certain tax obligations. These may vary depending on your personal circumstances (whether you are a resident or non-resident in Spain) and the type of services you offer at your property.
In general, property owners should:
-
Declare the rental income received in the relevant tax return.
