Specific Barcelona context
Non-resident taxpayers pay income tax (form 210) four times a year on rentals in Spain. If you sell as a non-resident, there is a 3% withholding (form 211) on the sale price. A gestor specialised in non-residents is essential to avoid paying more than due or losing refunds.
What you do NOT need (red flags)
If a professional offers you any of these, consider looking for another:
- A gestor who charges for the initial consultation without proposing a clear plan
- Anyone who won't show you the tax filing before submitting it
- A gestor with no experience with non-residents if you are one
