My name is Sue. We have lived in Alhaurin de la torre for nearly 7 years. It's great to find a site where things can be explained clearly.
We hope someone can help us because we keep reading about new laws ref. property renting and are getting a bit jittery. We have 3 legal houses on one plot in a rural location, of which we rent out two to holidaymakers occasionally and we would like to become fully legal for tourism but don't know how to go about it.
We spoke to a gestoria yesterday and he said we just need to register with the Malaga hacienda. I already have a tax number from previous work and have filed my tax statement for this year. We don't take much per annum - not sufficient to keep us. How much tax would we have to pay ? We wanted to be licenced, not just registered , so we could put a board near the road to direct people to us and advertise without fear of being fined. How do we go about that and is it possible to get a green grant rural tourism, to help with other things- we can run Adventure pursits from here etc., with the help of a qualified friend. We would be happy to be inspected if we knew exactly what is expected of us.
Sorry to ask so many questions straight off but my lawyer doesn't seem to know that much about it and I keep getting conflicting opinions.
