Hi Classic man

I think you are talking about your resident income tax returns but this thread is about non resident tax which does not need to be processed by an expensive solicitor but by a more affordable gestor. As the tax to pay is usually a small amount often people are paying more for the solicitors fee than the actual tax to pay.

Hi Roy,

I've used this company and was very pleased with their service - they charge per property,  rather than per person, and much cheaper than a lawyer:

for This. Pay 40€.and the do it All.

Hi MsLynn

If only, it would cost me a fortune in fuel to do that from Villena (200kms+) round trip. Lol.

We used to pay a similar amount for many years for a lawyer to complete and submit non resident tax returns for both of us and advise us how much would be going out of our account. It is a lot but was something else we didn’t have to worry about.

Cancel your arrangement with the solicitor immediately, I pay a gestor €40 for my daughter's non resident tax but I think Spanish Tax Forms may do it for €20. The amount you pay is based on the catastral value of your property.

Some estate agents also provide this service and process your Spanish taxes on your behalf.  Make sure you get a receipt confirmation.

I've said it before.  Beware of solicitors.  They know how to rob clients too. Go to a gestor.  I went to One Way Services Quesada.  Matt  and Craig.  Two nice helpful guys.  Their fee 50 euro plus the tax . 966716540

Can anyone who has a Cajamar weferrent account tell me if they can pay bills that they would normally take into the bank to pay, actually pay them via the banks atm without going inside? Just read a thread regarding someone advising a car tax bill could be paid at their atm which reads the barcode, so it has prompted this question. It is relevant to this thread having found out I would need to pay our INR in person through the bank if I want to keep Angar as our gestor.

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.
