Any person who has property in Spain, and is not a resident citizen, has to pay taxes in Spain, which is important to know. Therefore, when you have assets or obtain income in Spain, you must present and pay the Non-Resident Income Tax (IRNR), on a quarterly or annual basis, depending on the case.

Also, if you own property in Spain you may be required to file for Wealth Tax. On the other hand, if you receive goods by donation or by title of inheritance, you will also have to assume the Inheritance Tax.
