Hi Leswil

The Form 210 which I am using is given by the following link:

(Website will not let me post. will try to send as a PM)

Perhaps you could be so kind as to view the form and see if you can guide me on entry details for the boxes which I advised in my earlier post?

I'm not sure about the digital certification as I tried to register on the website (not sure whether this is same as digital sihnature) as myslef then also as my wife. I didn't receive anything from either to indicate that a digital signature had been given. The site just recognised my details when I attempted to obtain 'stickers', but didn't give me the option to have them e-mailed, and sent my wife an e-mail which should have contianed an electronic code/key to complte her registration, but contained nothing. If you input some details at the start of the form and click the link in spanish to the right of the NIE entry, it will come up with the page to register or it will confirm that you are already registered.

This process should be simple but I'm having great difficulty.

Any help that you or any other reader could give would be gretaly appreciated.

PS. You were right about the phone. No English. Do you have any e-mail address as I have found that an approach to a general e-mail address for water and electricity has resulted in some english speaker corresponding..

Many thanks.

Neil

Hi Leswill

Thanks for your reply.

I have been trying a few things with the tax office website whilst conducting more research. I have been tying to complete the electronic Form 210 on the tax office website. Although I downloaded the active X cab file onto one of my machines which is using windows 7 ultimate 64 bit, even using the 32 IE browser and Firefox (even worse) I can't save the file and I get error 0115 when I try to 'validate and generate a pdf'. I repeated the same on an older machine running windows XP after downloading the active X cab file. I am now able to save a file for me and another for my wife but now get errors when 'validating and generating a pdf' for not completing the form correctly. Accrual year and accrual date (filing for last year) perplex me. I have tried all combinations 2010, 2011 in 'accrual year' and todays date, 31/12/10 and 31/12/11 in 'accrual date' without success. Also, I get errors for boxes 21 to 31. As the box numbers coincide with the old paper form, I believe that box 21 should be the Euro value of 24% of box 04, which inturn is 1.1% of cadastral value. I have tried leaving boxes between 22 and 30 blank and also tried putting some logical figures in the boxes without sucess.

Also, the tax system seems to recognise my NIE (don't know how) as it has given me the option to send stickers to my Spanish? address. Hardly helpful as I'm in the UK! I have attempted to register my wife, but get to the point where the system sends an e-mail with a code for her to imput to complete the registration. I have repeated this process several times but each time, the e-mail simply has a title and nothing else. No body or embeded reference. I have viewd both through Outlook and webmail, incase Outlook filtered the content for some reason - all to no avail.

Any thoughts or help you could offer would be greatly appreciated as I now appear to have hit a brick wall.

Also, do you know of any tax office telephone numbers which are geographic (not premium 901) with English speakers that may offer some guidance?

In principle, it should be simple. Input detail on-line, obtain electronic 'stickers', e-mail to my spanish (or UK) bank for payment. Sorted, or maybe not!

Many thanks.

Hi Faro

An abridged version of my recent PM for the benefit of others

I have been trying to master applying online at '...agenciatributaria....' (wouldn't let me paste full link) and based on my previous year's submission, I am certain that the form is completed correctly but I keep gettting error code 0115 when I try to validate and create a pdf at the bottom of the form. I am attempting to do this from the UK. Might there be a problem with the digital signature as I'm not in Spain. Also, how do I get the 'stickers' if I apply on line and can I simply e-mail the forms to my bank for payment (possibly by yearly direct debit)?

Many thanks.

Hi

My wife and I took ownership of a new property on 23/7/08 on the Costa Blanca South and whilst we are finding our way through the Spanish tax haze, I was unaware that you have to register your non resident status with the bank every 2 years otherwise you become liable for tax on bank savings amongst other things. Such bi-annual declaration expired in February of this year and my bank failed to advise me that we needed to sign another declaration of non residence. As a result, £137.36 was taken each month from my Spanish bank sterling account between 11/3 and 11/6 under the debit details of ‘I. TAX W. INT.’ until the bank corrected the oversight after several requests from me. Whilst the bank refunded me one payment, I am still £412.08 out of pocket to the Spanish taxman.

I have £150K invested in a Spanish bank which enables me to have a 162K € overdraft, until the poor exchange rate reverses and enables me to buy the Euros at a better rate than is currently available. With this facility, I pay (more) interest on the overdraft and the bank pays me (less) interest on the savings. So effectively the savings capital simply cancels out the overdraft debt. My bank has handed the problem to me so I am looking to recover the outstanding amount of £412.08 overpaid to the taxman. Can anyone please advise how best this can be done and what charges will be levied for services to achieve recovery? I have already had one quote of 50 € just to look at my bank statements and to advise a further cost on recovery by the same 3rd party. Doesn't seem too hotter deal having to pay someone to give me a price for them to provide me with a service!

Additionally, can anyone please advise whether I am liable for other taxes than those below?:

1. Local taxes, refuse etc. – which is already collected by Aquagest on behalf of the town hall through a percentage tax on water consumption
2. Land tax – which is already set-up with Suma to be automatically paid annually by direct debit
3. Form 210-A tax for non-resident, non-rental property.

1.  

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hi

Recently learned about the San Jose issue and currently racing against time to complete the purchase on our property on R2 Playa Golf III. Atlas are adament that the sale is good to go but I have just had a call from a neighbour on the site with a very concerning tale. I'm not sure whether Playa Golf III, which has all construction complete is in the same 'at risk category' as San Jose's other developments. I'm new to the site and as there have been no further posts since Friday, has activity moved to a different area on EOS?

Many thanks.

Neil
