If you have filled in the form 210 correctly the validation process at the end will indicate this. If it says there is an error look back through the various boxes on the form to identify where the error is and correct it. It may just be that you omitted to fill some box.

When you get success with the validation you can then generate the final version and print or save it as a .pdf file on your computer. Most people use Adobe Reader to open .pdf files and you should check that it or an equivalent application is set as default for opening .pdf files on your computer. If this is set as default then a .pdf file should display automatically when you click on it.  If Adobe Reader is missing or corrupt then of course there will be problems. Personally I have been using free Foxit Reader as an alternative for years.

 



Thread: 210 Form

--------------------------------------

Just wish to add that my reply dealt solely with the cadastral value itself not the rate of tax applied which is outlined on the Hacienda website.

The following was taken from the Hacienda website:

 

Real estate property owned by individuals

Taxation on real estate property located in Spain whose owners are non-resident individuals.

The taxation will depend on whether or not the property is leased:

  • If the property is rented, the tax base will be composed of the incomes obtained, taxed separately for each accrual.

    In general, the tax base will be the whole income. However, in the case of taxpayers resident in another European Union member state, in relation to incomes obtained from 1 January 2010, and those resident in Iceland and Norway in relation to incomes obtained from 1 January 2015, they will be able to deduct the expenses provided for in the Personal Income Tax Act for the determination of the gross tax base, provided that it is certified that they are directly related to the incomes.

    Tax rate
    Year of return 2007-2011 2012-2014 2015 2016
    Tax rate 24% 24.75% Residents in the EU, Iceland and Norway Other taxpayers Residents in the EU, Iceland and Norway Other taxpayers

    Until 11-07-2015:

    20%

    From 12-07-2015:

    19.50%

    24% 19% 24%
  • If the property is not rented (is used by the owner or is empty), the income will be estimated as the amount resulting from applying the following percentages to the rateable value of the property, which is stated in the Property Tax (IBI) bill:

    Accruals until 2014

    • In general, 2%.
    • In the case of properties with rateable values reviewed or modified from 1 January 1994, 1.1%.

    Accruals from 2015

    • In general, 2%.
    • In the case of a property whose taxable value has been reviewed or modified and this has become applicable within the tax period or the previous ten tax periods, 1.1%.

    This income is understood to accrue once a year, on 31 December.

    The proportional part of the said amount will be declared if the owner of the property has not been the owner all the year or if the property has been leased for a period of time.

    Tax rate
    Year of return 2007-2011 2012-2014 2015 2016
    Tax rate 24% 24.75% Residents in the EU, Iceland and Norway Other taxpayers Residents in the EU, Iceland and Norway Other taxpayers

Thread: Modelo 210 again - Murcia

--------------------------------------

Hi there,

The valor cadastral is the rateable value of your property not the market value.  Your town hall (Ayuntamiento) uses the valor cadastral to calculate your IBI tax (local rates). When you receive the annual bill for IBI from the Town Hall you will find the valor cadastral for the year in question printed on the bill. If you pay this bill by direct debit then your bank slip for the transaction will have this information printed on it.  If not you will have to make an enquiry at the Town Hall to ascertain the valor cadastral for the years in question.  With this information you can easily see if the figure has changed from year to year.

In various regions the valor cadastral has not changed for several years and in your case it may be that a review has taken place in your region because of the length of time since it was last reviewed or indeed there may be other reasons. In any case your local Town Hall can confirm if and why the figure has changed.

Hope this helps,



Thread: Modelo 210 again - Murcia

Most of the problems are not in fact due to the Browser in use - I discovered that it is the implementation of JAVA within the browser that often causes problems. 

Whether Java is working correctly or not within your Browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome etc) can be checked by going to the Java Check website page & doing the test:

http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp

I was using IE9 with JAVA enabled but the test confirmed Java was not working and despite reinstalling Java etc I only succeeded in getting it to work by uninstalling IE9 and going back to IE8 on my Windows 7 computer.  Yet I have a laptop with IE9 and Windows 7 where Java works okay!

Bottom line - the tax pdf form will not generate unless JAVA is working in the browser okay.



Thread: Tax Form 210

--------------------------------------
26 Jan 2013 7:00 PM:

I think there is a lot of confusion about the filing of Form 210 as revised in 2012. (Note the use of the word "filing" - this is not the same as "paying")

To clarify, there are 2 methods of filing:

1.Online Filing: By filling out and sending the forms available online at the Tax Agency electronic office together with an electronic signature certificate acceptable to the Tax Agency.   Assuming both conditions are met then the payment can be made by direct debit with appropriate bank details filled in on the form.  The key point here is the necessity to have a digital or electronic signature certificate. The process of obtaining a digital certificate is somewhat involved but I believe it can be done by applying in person to the appropriate authority in the locality bringing suitable identity documents etc.  Basically once the certificate is in your possession you can do all the filing & give payment instructions online.

2. Filing on Paper: The return can be filed on paper by filling in and printing out the form (.pdf format) available at the Tax Agency website (www.agenciatributaria.es).  This will produce a few copies and is similar to the system in use for earlier years with one key difference.  You no longer send one copy to the Tax Agency - the copy which you bring to the Spanish Bank to make the payment and which the Bank retains on behalf of the Tax Agency is now the one used by the Tax Agency.  I quote "The copy for the collaborating organisation will be the one used for filing the return, together with corresponding documentation"

Please note that I am referring only to cases where there is a tax liability and a payment due to the Tax Agency - there are other procedures in place if the result of the self - assessment is a tax refund due or a zero charge.  As well there are different procedures if one wants to file and pay via bank transfer from abroad but I am not going into these here.

The information above is extracted from a document which I obtained at the AgenciaTributaria website some time ago (E.& O.E.) and presumably is still available there.   I am not a tax or legal expert so I provide this as a help and I recommend consulting a professional where there is any doubt or complicating factors.
