none residentia tax
Confused by none residence taxes! My partner and I jointly own a property here in Campoverde. We do not rent and leave the paperwork to the lawyers, therefore, we pay a lump sum each year in December. Question: is the amount we pay each year for the current year or is it for the previous year? Why am I asking?
For the last 3 years, we have paid none residence tax. Last year (2020) we paid the full amount (half each) on 29th December 2020. However, on the 10th December 2020 I became a resident. If the bills are for the previous year but payable this year (2021) then we obviously need to pay the full amount again. However, if the tax is payable for the current year in arrears i.e. (1st January to 31st December 2021) and I have been a resident since 10th December 2020 then I shouldn't be paying.
Does anyone know what fiscal year we are paying for, and if the lawyers are right to bill me again?
Many thanks for any replies.
