May News for Homeowners in Spain: NRA, Taxes, Inheritance, and New Features in Estity

A lot is happening right now for homeowners in Spain. In this summary, we highlight a possible change regarding NRA/NRUA and short-term rentals, important tax rules, the significance of the reference value in gifts and inheritance – as well as new features in Estity's platform.

Possible Change Regarding NRA/NRUA and Short-Term Rentals

Spain's Supreme Court has annulled the national registry for short-term rentals, Registro Único de Arrendamientos de Corta Duración, also known as NRA/NRUA.

The court argues that the state lacked the authority to create the registry, as the regulation affects areas where the regions have responsibility. This may mean that parts of the regulations regarding national registration for short-term rentals could change.

However, it's important to remember that regional rules, tourist licenses, and local requirements may still apply. For those who rent out or plan to rent out their property in Spain, it's wise to follow developments closely.

Have You Missed the Imputed Tax in Spain?

As a non-resident property owner in Spain, you usually need to declare annual imputed income tax, even if the property is not rented out.

This is done through Modelo 210 and also applies to properties that are vacant or only used privately. Many owners are unaware of this, which can lead to concern if the declaration was missed in previous years.

In our article, we go through what applies, what the consequences might be, and how the situation can be rectified.

Time to Declare Your Imputed Income Tax

Do you own property in Spain as a non-resident and do not rent it out permanently? Then the property is normally subject to the annual imputed income tax, also known as Imputed Income Tax or Modelo 210.

With Estity, you can declare easily and securely on a digital platform. You get step-by-step guidance, better overview, and your declaration documents are stored in one place.

Reference Value in Gifts and Inheritance of Properties in Spain

In the case of a gift or inheritance of a property in Spain, it is not always the market price that determines the taxation.

The so-called reference value, valor de referencia, can affect which value forms the basis for taxation. This can be significant when a property is transferred within the family, during a generational shift, or in an inheritance.

In the article, we explain what the reference value means, how it works, and why it is important to understand before a property changes ownership.

New Collaboration with Fastighetsbyrån in Nerja

Buying property in Spain is often the beginning of a dream, but ownership continues long after the keys are handed over.

Through our collaboration with Fastighetsbyrån in Nerja, we want to contribute to a safer and more cohesive ownership journey. The goal is for more homeowners to have better control over documents, important dates, declarations, and ongoing responsibilities.

New in the Platform: More Guidance and Better Overview

We continue to develop Estity to make property ownership easier and clearer.

In the latest update, the focus has been on providing more guidance and better support to get started. As a new user, you now answer a few simple questions about how the property is used. This helps us show more relevant suggestions, reminders, and features.

We have also added receipts under Economy, so you can more easily gather documents related to income, expenses, and future declarations.

For those who already have an account, the platform may therefore feel a bit updated – but the goal is the same: better structure, more control, and easier ownership.
