Hi Ruth
We met with our solicitor back in February she explained you have to pay annual coucil tax which we have just paid at 77 .98 euros.
Income tax on renting if you rent they can check this by your electric & water meters as they are tapped into them this tax is at 24%.
You have to pay an annual income tax which we have just had ours for 214 euros for 2008 considering we completed at the end of July last year and only really moved in and started to use electric from October I think it is steep. (we are not resident)
You also pay a fee to your solicitor to notify you when these taxes are due as I believe the spanish are very good at not letting you know these things and you could end up with an heavy fine.
If anyone has any further information or I have advised wrong please correct me.
Cheers
