Thanks Marie,
I thought that was the case. Problem is, I fear it will be years before I get it even though it is meant to be paid within 6 mths. I found out about the non resident tax approx 2 years ago when a letter arrived at my spanish address. I only come out once a year lately so knew nothing aboutit!
I gave the letter to my accountant it's just under 2 yrs ago, he said he would get the bill for me. I have chased and chased my accountant over the last year to get this paid, he just keeps telling me I can't pay it as they have not sent an official bill!
Although my resident tax is prob half of the 3% retention, I'm starting to think it's better to just let them keep it and move on. I'm never going to purchase abroad again. The original revaluation bill hit me 3 years and 9 months after I bought the property, I've no reason to believe getting my 3% back and paying the non residence tax will be easily resolved..........just not sure I have the energy to keep chasing them.
I also worry about keeping an account open as there has been so many mishaps with the ayuntimento taking money that was not due, they even took my neighbours payment from my account once!
I'll have a chat with a new recommended accountant for advice tomorrow, I'll see what he says. Maybe I can authorise payment to him?
