IRNR - Income Tax for Non-Permanent Resident

The IRNR (Form 210) is the tax paid in Spain on income earned by individuals who do not have tax residence in the country. It is the equivalent of the Personal Income Tax (IRPF – Form 100) paid annually by Spanish tax residents.

If permanent residence (i.e. more than six months per year) is outside of Spain, but you own property or conduct income‑generating activities within Spanish territory, this tax becomes due.

In this article, we focus on the declaration requirements for real estate—whether residential or commercial properties.

DEADLINES TO DECLARE THE IRNR (Income Tax for Non-Permanent Resident)

This tax is filed using Form 210 with the Spanish Tax Agency, and a separate form must be submitted for each distinct type of income (different income streams cannot be consolidated).


Generally, the tax rate is 19% (24% for non‑EU citizens) applied to net income. The filing rules depend on whether your result is positive, negative, or zero, as outlined below:

Property rental income:

  • Positive result: Must be declared within the first 20 days of January, April, July, and October—i.e., quarterly in the month following the reporting period.
  • Negative result: May be declared from February 1 of the following year, up to a maximum of four years, when the tax due is less than the amount already withheld or prepaid.
  • Zero result: Must be declared between January 1 and 20 of the year following the tax year, applicable when net income (income minus expenses) is zero or negative.

Income from the transfer or sale of the property:

Within one month of signing the sale or transfer, the seller must deposit an advance equal to 3% of the sale price. The seller then has up to three months to file the declaration, whether tax is owed or a refund is due.

Properties available to the owner and not rented:

For properties not rented out, the declaration period runs from January 1 to December 31 of the following year. If the property was rented for less than a full quarter, the tax will be proportionate to the number of days it remained vacant.

HOW TO PRESENT AND PAY FORM 210

The Ministry of Finance provides online instructions to complete the IRNR filing process. However, many property owners lack the time or expertise to navigate it—especially if they are not fluent in Spanish—leading them to rely on a gestor for assistance.

*If the taxpayer prefers to handle it independently, two options are available:

  • In person: Print and complete the form, then make the payment at your bank.
  • Online: Authenticate with a digital signature on the Tax Agency’s portal and submit the payment electronically.

In such cases, filing electronically with a digital signature is strongly recommended to avoid unnecessary travel.


*If you prefer to use a gestor’s services, there are two options:

  • The gestor prepares the declaration for review, and you complete payment at your bank.
  • The gestor acts as your representative and executes the payment directly from your account.

t is advisable to choose a representative who, beyond handling the payment, can serve as your contact point for any communications from the Tax Agency. Typically, the price difference between the two service options is minimal.
