About the service

What is the Personal Tax Returns in Spain?

Filing your Personal Tax Return in Spain, known as the Declaración de la Renta or IRPF, is an annual obligation for most residents. This is how you regularize your tax situation with the government, declaring all income earned during the calendar year.

The process can be complex, but we make it simple for you.

You are generally required to file if your income from employment exceeds €22,000 from a single payer, or €15,000 from multiple payers. It is also mandatory for all self-employed individuals (autónomos), and anyone who has earned income from renting out property or from capital gains (e.g., selling shares or crypto).

The tax campaign runs from April to June 30th of the year following the tax year in question. Meeting this deadline is crucial to avoid penalties.

The goal of the tax return is to calculate your final tax liability. This involves applying all possible deductions and allowances. These can include deductions for renting your main home, mortgage interest payments, pension contributions, donations, and investments in startups.

For expats, a critical aspect is correctly declaring foreign-source income, such as pensions, rental income from abroad, or dividends. We are experts in applying double taxation treaties to ensure you never pay tax twice on the same income.

The result of the declaration can be either a tax refund (a devolver), if you have overpaid through your monthly withholdings, or an amount to pay (a ingresar).

Our service covers the entire process. We collect your information, analyze your situation to find every possible deduction, and prepare and file the Modelo 100 on your behalf. We provide you with the final result and manage any payments or refunds.

We provide peace of mind, ensuring your Spanish tax return is not just filed, but filed correctly and in your best financial interest.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience working with Dario and his team throughout my visa process. They made everything completely stress-free and were incredibly helpful every step of the way. Dario speaks excellent English, which made communication easy and comfortable, and he was always responsive, patient, and clear in explaining everything. He and his colleagues handled every detail with care, efficiency, and in a very timely manner, which gave me a lot of confidence and truly made my life so much easier throughout the entire process. By far the best lawyer I’ve worked with in Barcelona. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Dario and his team to anyone needing help with visas or immigration.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A friend recommended Illay Legal  to help obtain my permanent residency in Spain. Exceptional service! Marc explained every part of the process clearly and precisely. Once I provided all the necessary details, the team did all the work: pre-completed the necessary paperwork, helped retrieve padron and digital tax certificate, secured appointments in my preferred neighbourhood and checked in with me before and after both appointments. I subsequently switched both my tax and business accountancy contracts to Marc's firm and have enjoyed the same very high level of service. Communication via email and WhatsApp, and extremely responsive to answering any small or large questions/concerns. A huge endorsement to the whole team - I would highly reccomend. Regards Ismail

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lawyers I truly trust and genuinely enjoy working with. Huge thanks to Marc and Soundous for guiding me through a very stressful documentation process over the past few years. Together we managed to resolve a complicated situation I ended up in because of a bureaucratic issue with my previous paperwork. They have well-organized processes and a lot of experience with different kinds of cases — even the tricky ones. Whenever I was stressed or freaking out, they were always there to reassure and support me. That human approach means a lot. With them, you are in very good hands 💚

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the Personal Tax Returns in Spain

What is the deadline for filing the tax return in Spain?

The filing period for the annual tax return (for the previous year) typically runs from the beginning of April until June 30th. It is a strict deadline, and missing it can lead to penalties.

I am self-employed ('autónomo'). Do I still need to file this?

Yes, it is mandatory. As an autónomo, you must file the annual IRPF return to consolidate your quarterly payments (Modelo 130) and calculate your final tax liability for the year. It is not optional.

What happens if I don't declare my foreign income?

Failing to declare your worldwide income as a Spanish tax resident is a serious tax offense. The Spanish Tax Agency actively exchanges information with other countries, and if they discover undeclared foreign income, the penalties and interest can be very high.

What is the difference between a draft ('borrador') and a final declaration?

The borrador is a pre-filled draft that the Tax Agency provides with the data they have. It is often incomplete or incorrect and lacks many potential deductions. A final declaration, prepared by a professional, includes all your correct data and optimizations.

My tax return result is "to pay". Can I pay in installments?

Yes. The Spanish Tax Agency allows you to split the payment into two installments. The first 60% is paid at the time of filing (by June 30th), and the remaining 40% is typically paid at the beginning of November.
