It is not that the rules have changed. It is going up because fiscal residents of the United Kingdom are no longer fiscal residents of an EU member state.

So I guess some people I know with Irish passports, but resident / tax payers in the UK, would still need to pay the 24%.

It depends on fiscal residency not nationality that is why foreigners (whether citizens of an EU member state or not) with fiscal residency in Spain pay the same rate of tax as Spaniards.

Therefore a citizen of an EU member state with fiscal residency in the United Kingdom will pay Spanish non-resident tax at 24% for the fiscal year of 2021 and onwards

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone ever paid non-resident tax from a non-Spanish bank account? I closed my Spanish bank account last year, so now have to try it. To use this option, in the preliminary tax return form (https://www2.agenciatributaria.gob.es/w ... /index.zul) one needs to choose "Payment by transfer from abroad", input your bank account details, and then generate a PDF with preliminary tax return. In that PDF there are instructions to transfer the tax amount to the Bank of Spain IBAN with some specific values in the "Beneficiario" and "Concepto" fields. Once AEAT receives the payment, they promise to just link it to your self-assessment.

I'm wondering if anyone has gone this route and could confirm that they successfully link payment and the tax return? Last thing I want is to have my payment just disappear in the Bank of Spain account.. :)

Also am I correct that the above-mentioned "Concepto" bank transfer field is what is called "Payment reference" outside of Spain?

Thanks!

Hi Enrique,

Thanks for the pointer - it helps! OK, I'll try to follow slapdash's guidelines - I assume they worked since he didn't report any issues back..:) Will post here if I eventually succeed (i.e., if I see that AEAT linked my payment to my preliminary Form 210).

The procedure for exporting the data and generating the pre-declaration has changed slightly.

Having completed and validated the form you now click on 'Seleccionar Ingreso/Devolución' then a new panel will open. The 'Exportar' and 'Generar predeclaración' buttons will be found there. Use them as before and be sure to click on 'Exportar' first.

The FAQ has been amended accordingly.

Hola foristas

Just completed Modelo 210 for Trimestre 1 rental income. As a UK tax resident coping with the increasingly unappealing new world outside the EU, I was aware of the tax rate hike to 24%. However, as an added bonus of Brexit, it seems I can no longer offset the 'rendimientos integros' (box 5) with 'gastos deductibles' (box 7), as I could in 2020. When I tried to enter an amount in box 7, the system would not accept it.

Has anyone else found this, or have I bungled the submission this time?

Gracias de antemano

You have completed the declaration correctly. Residents of non-EU countries cannot claim these expenses. The expenses box is disabled when you enter a non-EU country as your fiscal residence.

Thanks for that. Seems AT has got its act together pretty quickly post Brexit

Wish there was someone with your expertise to help negotiate the complexities of HMRC for a UK tax resident. They were hopeless the last time I needed their assistance.

Just wondering if anyone who pays non-resident tax from a foreign bank account was able to verify that AEAT has successfully linked their payment to their Form 210? I made the payment for the year 2020 in Jan 2021 according to all thre instructions in the generated PDF (in which they promise to link the payment to my self-assessment as soon as they receive the payment), however I can't see any record of this when checking my AEAT submissions using the usual links.

Not sure if I should try to contact AEAT to confirm it, or is it the same for others with foreign bank account payments?

Sometimes even declarations made from a Spanish bank account or paid in cash, do not show up on the declarant's record of submissions with a digital certificate of Cl@ve.

The only way to contact AEAT is by way of the helpline but I think they can only answer general queries and have no facility to access the records of individuals although they may be able to suggest what you can do to rectify this.

My own suggestion would be to keep your own records of declarations and payments made from your foreign bank account so that you can prove payment if they query the declaration at some time in the future. Remember, they can go back for five years plus the current year.

Hi Alex_

Even from a Spain Bank account I've seen it take three months before registering on the AEAT site.

Thank you, Enrique - I'll give them more time then. I doubt they became faster under the current conditions..)

And thanks a lot for the sound advice, Beachcomber - I think I'll just follow it in the end (i.e., will keep bank transfer confirmation) as I doubt I'll get far with their helpline given that I don't speak Spanish.

It looks like we need to get new digital certificates this year. We've renewed them once online already, so I believe we need to go through the process to get new brand ones now. Anyone done this lately?

I've checked this page to see what we need to do: https://www.sede.fnmt.gob.es/certificad ... o-software

My wife is Spanish and has a DNI. I am American citizen; I have a NIE. It says I need to bring my NIE document to verify my identity. All I have is the A4 paper certificate that I was given when my NIE was issued in 2014. I know the number doesn't expire, but it says the certificate is valid for 3 months. Can I just take that? Or should I go and get a new certificate?

Thanks.
Eric S.

The statement at the bottom of NIE certificate that it is only valid for three months has been withdrawn and no longer applies. You will, however, need to complete the application form from the Ceres/FNMT web site. You
Will also need to produce your passport.

As has been stated on other occasions, you may need to disable your antivirus and VPN if you use one.

If your wife has a DNI she can use this instead of a digital certificate but she would need a DNI card reader.

Thanks, Beachcomer. And thanks for reminding me about the DNIe. We do have a reader, but we don't use it very often. Last time we tried, we got a message saying it had expired. So we'll need to renew that, too, next time we're in Spain this summer.

We recently went to get new digital certificates. It was pretty straightforward. I tried to add an update with our experience to the FAQ, viewtopic.php?f=42&t=27571. But it wouldn't let me post a comment. So I'll post it here. Maybe an admin can copy it over.

We needed to get new certificates since our old ones were expiring. You can renew them online once but after that, you need to get new ones. The old ones were good for three years. Now it's four years. With the one online renewal, that means we don't have to do this process again until 8 years from now.

We used the FNMT website here: https://www.sede.fnmt.gob.es/en/certifi ... o-software . There are four steps:

1. Download and install the certificate software. You only need to do it once. Once it's installed, it can be used from any browser.

2. Request the digital certificate on the FNMT website. It will ask you for NIE/DNI, your last name, and email address. Then it launches the certificate software, which will ask you for a password. Remember the password because you'll need it later when you download the certificate. It then sends you an email with a request code. You take that code with you to AEAT (or other agency, see below).

3. Go to AEAT or other agency to verify your identity. You can find one here: http://mapaoficinascert.appspot.com/. You'll need to bring DNI for Spanish citizens or passport and NIE for non-citizens. I brought my NIE certificate which I obtained about 6 years ago. The certificate has a note on it that says it is valid for 3 months, but it was accepted without problem.

4. After completion of step 3, you should be able to download the digital certificate from the same FNMT website. Others have said in the past that you may need to wait a couple of hours or until the next day for it to be ready. We were told at AEAT that it would be ready immediately. We didn't get back home for a couple of hours, so I couldn't verify that. But it did download successfully for me later that day. It will automatically install the certificate into your browser after downloading. It will also ask you if you want to make a backup copy (recommended). You can use the backup copy to install on other browsers or other computers if you want. But note that Chrome, IE and Edge all use the same installed certificates. So if you downloaded to one of those, you don't need to copy to the other two.

They tell you not to make any changes or updates to your computer between doing step 2 and step 4. For that reason, I'd recommend making your appointment at AEAT (or wherever you plan to go), before doing step 2. We did step 2 and then called for an appointment. We got an appointment for the following week. In the meantime, the browser on my computer updated. So, to be safe, I did step 2 again the night before our appointment. I got a new code, and used that for the appointment the next day.

Hope this is helpful.

- Eric S.
