Tax in a foreign country should not feel like a maze. Our tax advisors on the Costa del Sol keep residents and non-residents compliant — clearly, on time and in your language. If you own property here, start with our dedicated guide to Modelo 210, Spain’s non-resident tax return.

How can we help you?

Tax planning

Before you buy or sell: we calculate your purchase taxes (ITP, VAT, AJD), plan capital gains and structure your position as resident or non-resident — so the numbers are clear before the notary.

Filing your tax returns

We prepare and file Tax Form 210 (imputed income and rental income) and your annual non-resident returns — with reminders so no deadline is ever missed.

Reclaiming the 3% retention

Selling as a non-resident? The buyer withholds 3% of the price for the tax office. We file the reclaim and recover what is yours after capital gains are settled.
