Modelo 210 in a nutshell

Own a home in Spain? Then you owe Modelo 210.

Modelo 210 is the non-resident income tax return. Spain asks every owner who lives abroad to file it, even if the home is never rented out: the tax is then worked out on a notional income, based on the property’s cadastral value.

Renting the home out or selling it means other returns. Late or missing returns bring surcharges and interest. We make sure that never happens to you.

How it works

  1. 1. Tell us about your home

    Answer a few questions online: who owns the property, in what shares, and whether it was rented out.

  2. 2. Send your documents

    Your NIE and the latest IBI receipt (the local property tax), which shows the cadastral value. Add the rent and expenses if you rent it out.

  3. 3. Check your figures

    We calculate the tax for each owner and send you a summary. Nothing is filed before you approve it.

  4. 4. Filed, you’re done

    We file your Modelo 210 with the Agencia Tributaria and send you the filed return and the payment receipt.

But what exactly is Modelo 210?

Modelo 210 is the form for the non-resident income tax (IRNR). Everyone who owns a home in Spain without being a Spanish tax resident files it, for the income the home brings in, or is deemed to bring in.

You are a Spanish tax resident if you spend more than 183 days a year in Spain, or if the core of your business or economic interests is there. Otherwise you are a non-resident, and your Spanish home goes through Modelo 210.

How is the tax worked out for a home that isn’t rented out?

Spain taxes a notional income: 1.1% of the cadastral value if the town’s values were revised since 2012, 2% otherwise (rules for 2025). Each owner declares their share, taxed at 19% for residents of the EU and the EEA, and 24% for everyone else, the United Kingdom included.

Where each figure goes on the form: our Modelo 210 form in English, box by box.

Example
A villa owned 50/50 by a couple living in the EU
Cadastral value
€120,000
Notional income (1.1%)
€1,320.00
Each owner’s share (50%)
€660.00
Tax per owner (19%)
€125.40

A simplified example: we check the rate and the values that apply to your home.

Which situation is yours?

Modelo 210 depends on what happened to your home during the year. We handle all three.

Holiday home

Not rented out

You use the home yourself, or it stays empty. You still declare a notional income worked out from the cadastral value: one return per owner, every year.

Rental income

Rented out

Holiday lets or long-term tenants: the rent is declared to the Spanish tax office. Residents of the EU and the EEA can deduct their expenses.

Capital gain

Sold

The buyer withholds 3% of the price for the tax office. Modelo 210 declares your gain, and gets back the part of that 3% that is more than the tax you owe.

The documents you need

Most owners already have everything at home. Here is the list.

  • Each owner’s NIE

    The identification number for foreigners in Spain, with a copy of your passport or ID card.

  • The IBI receipt

    The yearly local property tax bill. It shows the cadastral value and the cadastral reference of the home.

  • The title deed

    The escritura, which shows who owns the home and in what shares.

  • Rent and expenses

    Only if you rent the home out: the rent received and, for EU and EEA residents, the costs to deduct.

  • The sale and purchase deeds

    Only if you sold: the sale price, the purchase price and the 3% the buyer withheld.

  • Not sure what applies to you?

    Answer a few questions and we tell you exactly which documents we need.

Modelo 210 deadlines change in 2027

A new order changes when Modelo 210 is filed, for homes that are rented out as well as for those that aren’t.

2025 returns for homes that weren’t rented out are still due by December 31, 2026.

From tax year 2026, those returns can only be filed from April 1, 2027, not in January.

We keep track of the new calendar and let you know when it’s your turn.

Every date, situation by situation: our guide to the Modelo 210 deadline.

Write to us
  • Do I have to file Modelo 210 if I never rent out my home?

    Yes. Non-resident owners pay tax on a notional income from their Spanish home, even when only they use it or it stays empty. It is worked out from the cadastral value shown on the IBI receipt.

  • My partner and I own the home together. Is one return enough?

    No: each owner files their own Modelo 210, for their share of the property. We prepare and file the returns of every co-owner together.

  • What do you need from me?

    Your NIE, the latest IBI receipt for the property and your share of ownership. If you rent the home out, the rent you received and the related expenses too.

  • I haven’t filed for previous years. What now?

    Returns that were never filed can still be filed late. Surcharges and interest apply and grow with time, so the sooner the better. We can catch up on past years for you.

  • Is CasitaTax part of the Spanish tax office?

    No. CasitaTax is a private service, not affiliated with the Agencia Tributaria. We prepare your return and file it on your behalf. Filing Modelo 210 is free, and you can do it yourself on the Agencia Tributaria’s website: our price covers the service of preparing and filing it for you.

  • Am I a non-resident for Spanish tax?

    Usually yes, if you spend fewer than 183 days a year in Spain and your main economic interests are elsewhere. Spend more than 183 days there and you become a Spanish tax resident: Modelo 210 no longer applies, and the home goes on a Spanish income tax return (IRPF) instead.

  • I live in the United Kingdom. Does Brexit change anything?

    Yes: since Brexit, UK residents pay 24% instead of 19%, and can no longer deduct expenses from their rental income.

  • What happens if I don’t file?

    The tax office can claim the tax with surcharges, late-payment interest and, in some cases, a fine. Filing late of your own accord, before any letter, costs less than waiting for one from the Agencia Tributaria.
