Wealth tax
In Spain, wealth tax is an annual tax that is calculated on the basis of the assets and debts that a natural person has.
For non-residents, both individuals and some legal entities, wealth tax is calculated on the basis of assets (generally real estate) and debts held in Spain. Each double taxation treaty establishes specific characteristics for the calculation of wealth tax.

FAQs
How is Spanish wealth tax calculated for non-residents who own property in Spain?
Non-residents are taxed on a limited basis, only on assets located in Spain. Property is valued at the highest of three figures: cadastral value, value assessed by the tax authorities or purchase price. Debts taken on to buy the property and the tax-free allowance are deducted, and a progressive scale is applied to the result.
