NON RESIDENT CERTIFICATION COMISSION

Has anyone else had 16 euros taken from their bank account  stating:

NON RESIDENT CERTIFICATION COMISSION

 I have not heard of this before so if anyone can throw any light on this?

I have looked back on last years statements and nothing?  Is this new and who would be taking it?

All suggestions gratefully received.

Unless you are a resident in Spain you pay a non resident certification each year. It will be per person, and I'm pretty sure we've just had ours taken out of our bank account. I can't remember the amount off hand.

Yes we paid this recently too. I think it is every two years rather than annually.

 cannot say i have heard of it does anybody know how much it is for a couple.

Thanks everyone, what I have found out so far its to do with the banks charges

non residents for using spanish banks and it is taken out every 2 years.

Our Bank (Halifax) and i think most spanish Banks charge  a fee for non residents, concidering we get regular statements to the u.k  its not really unfair to part with a few euro over a couple of years but they could do better to inform customers of this before hand but this is Spain
