At the risk of sounding a very rude
The original question was
"Is there any way I can get the hacienda to confirm I am tax resident? Or do I just try again in a few months after I complete my first tax return?"
So from the above replies I assume the answer is ....No...you have to wait and try again in a few months after I complete my Spanish tax return.
I know that is simple...but in the meantime I am out of pocket quite a lot until I can prove that income that I am taxed on in another country (at a much higher rate than here) is taxable in Spain and I should not be subject to the draconian withholding tax I am suffering at source. When I can prove I am resident somewhere else then they will release the tax I paid.
If anyone knows of a method to get the hacienda to issue a cert of residency before I complete my tax return (baring in mind Ihave already have 030 done) I would be very grateful.

Re: non resident car owners
I would be amazed if anyone immediately knows the answer to this one (!) - however, if you are a Spanish citizen, own a property in Spain but are a non-resident, could you register a UK plated right hand drive vehicle (the vehicle is a Peugeot 205 cabrio)? Any advice, would be much appreciated, particularly where to begin with the authorities. I could start at the Consulate in London if all else fails. Many thanks.
Re: non resident car owners
You mean change a uk plated car onto spanish plates? And the cars in or being brought to spain?. If so then its the same position as a uk with a spanish property holiday home and replating their uk car to use as a run around when in spain.
Re: non resident car owners
If your a Spanish citizen surely you have to drive a Spanish plated car wether you are resident or not. You could spanish register the RHD 205 if it has sentimental value.Rafaelbenasher wrote: ↑Wed Jan 27, 2021 6:25 pm I would be amazed if anyone immediately knows the answer to this one (!) - however, if you are a Spanish citizen, own a property in Spain but are a non-resident, could you register a UK plated right hand drive vehicle (the vehicle is a Peugeot 205 cabrio)?

Hola
A non-resident either has to own a property or have a rental contract to be able to own a car in Spain. the rules were changed in 2005 from memory (when I helped import hundreds of cars).
Re-registering a car is therefore possible

Re: non resident car owners
Many thanks everyone for your input. It is for a runaround and I'll look into registering it as pretty sure I couldn't keep it in Spain for any longer than 6 months on UK plates. It pre-dates EU type approval so I think I'll need to talk to an ITV testing station to find out if there's anywhere that does individual homologation.

Re: non resident car owners

Re: non resident car owners
It's all completely possible but difficult. It all comes down to homolgation....which is expensive and difficult.
However there is a rule about not needing the car homolgated if you are moving to Spain and are bringing the car as a personal possession. Since you are a Spanish citizen maybe you have your DNI with a family home address or similar and could try that.
I imported as part of personal possessions a car that was 18 months old and I lost the will to live even though it was just paperwork I ended up hiring a specialist. The hacienda insisted I had to pay a charge even though I showed them the law that said I didn't..they told me their own website was mistaken. I hired the specialist and had the paperwork done 6 hours later. Total costs for me were 700 EUR and I needed no mechanical work on the car and no homolgation. Also it was an EU registered car, it will be a lot more difficult for your Non EU car.
