FAQ

Frequently asked questions about advice for German citizens

When is a German citizen considered a tax resident in Spain?

Generally speaking, a person can be considered a tax resident in Spain when they spend more than 183 days there during the calendar year or when the main center of their economic activities or interests is located in Spain. If residency in both countries is possible, it will also be necessary to consider the criteria established in the Convention between Spain and Germany.

It will depend on whether you are a tax resident in Spain, whether the property is rented out, and how the property is used. A non-resident owner may have non-resident income tax obligations, as well as municipal taxes and, in certain cases, obligations related to wealth or the sale of the property.

When a person is a tax resident in Spain, they may be required to report certain accounts, securities, insurance policies, or real estate located in Germany using Form 720, provided the requirements established for each category are met. The obligation must be examined on a case-by-case basis, as there are limits and exceptions.
Not all new residents are eligible. The tax regime is aimed at specific individuals who acquire tax residency in Spain as a result of relocating for work or other legally permitted reasons. Before applying, applicants should review the requirements, deadlines, and the actual circumstances of their application.
Yes. We review the residency of the individuals involved, the location of assets, and family relationships to determine tax obligations in Spain. We also coordinate the transfer of real estate, bank accounts, investments, and other assets located in both countries.
