You can pay your non resident tax by direct debit. I pay
both the local rates and my non resident tax by direct debit via SUMA. I went
to the SUMA office in El Campello, where my house is and I was told that you
can only set up a direct debit on line. In order to be able to set up a direct
debit, you MUST obtain a “digital Signature” or “certificado digital”.
Once you have this then go on line at https://www.suma.es/PortalWeb/localizadores/cuerpo_tramites_carta_pago.xhtml?idioma=en
You will need to look at an old receipt to get the
“numero Fijo” and use this in your application
My digital signature was organised by my agent. You have
to apply on line and then you have to go to an approved office in person. The
person in the office needs to see you physically and verify that you are the
person who is named in your application form. You must make an appointment and
you will not be allowed into the offices without one. The certificado is issued
by the FMNT (Spanish Mint) Sede Electronica division.
Read up on line about this and then choose one of the
firms that can organise this. They should have set fees.
If you do not already have a digital certificate, then I
suggest that you organise one the next time that you are in Spain. You might
have to do this in advance as the appointment needs to be arranged for when you
are Spain. You cannot get a digital certificate unless you present yourself to
a authorised office. I went to the Ministerio de inclusion, Seguridad Social
and Migraciones in Alicante.
You might need the original document that you got for your
NIE and copies of your house documents.
You will need a digital certificado in order to apply for
a tourist license.
I also pay my tax from my rental income myself, online
using my digital certificate. As a U.K. (non E.U.) non-resident, you are taxed at a flat rate of
24%. You cannot offset any outgoings whatsoever. So, the tax calculation is
straight forward.
