You now need a National Short-Term Rental Registration Number to advertise—mandatory from 1 July 2025 and layered on top of any regional license.
You apply through the national one-stop digital portal, and that unique code must appear in every listing and booking flow.
It’s Spain’s implementation of the EU short-stay data rules so authorities can actually see who’s renting what, where, and when.
If you skip it, platforms can de-list you and authorities can sanction—treat the number like the property’s passport.
Separate duty still stands: traveller check-in reporting to police within 24 hours under RD 933/2021.



Thread: Mandatory Registration for Short-Term Rentals: What You Need to Know

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

Sure! Here below the requested info:

What

  • File an amended Form 210 for each affected period.

  • Request a refund for undue payments (you were taxed on gross; claim tax on net: rents – deductible expenses).

  • Applies to non-resident landlords, including non-EU, following recent case law aligning deductions with EU/EEA treatment.

  • Look-back: last 4 non-expired years.

How

  1. For each period: compute net income (rents – expenses like IBI/local rates, community fees, insurance, mortgage interest, repairs/maintenance, management fees, depreciation of the building).

  2. Prepare docs: lease(s), rent receipts, invoices + proofs of payment, deed/land registry extract, ID (NIE/passport), tax residence certificate (if needed), bank details.

  3. Submit online (digital ID) or via representative: tick “rectification/amendment” in Form 210 and attach the evidence.

  4. Include the refund request in the same filing.

Notes

  • Filing now helps stop the statute of limitations.

  • No invoice = no deduction. Ask providers for duplicates if missing.

  • This is general info, not legal advice.



Thread: Non-EU Owners Can Now Deduct Rental Expenses in Spain

Valencian Community: two regimes + a duration threshold

A) Tourist rental (VUT): Short-stay holiday use. In Valencia there’s a 10-day threshold: stays of 10 days or less per guest fall under the tourist regime, which typically requires tourism registration and often a municipal urban-compatibility certificate. Communities of owners can more easily restrict VUT.

B) Seasonal/medium-term lease (LAU “arrendamiento de temporada”): Temporary use for a specific reason (work, study, medical, etc.). Stays longer than 10 days generally fit this seasonal regime. It’s not tourist lodging and doesn’t require a tourist licence/registration. LAU duties apply (written contract, security deposit, etc.).

Your plan (≥ 2 weeks):
This can be seasonal (LAU) if you keep it clearly non-touristic:

  1. Use a seasonal lease contract stating the temporary purpose.

  2. Don’t market it as “holiday/tourist accommodation.”

  3. Comply with LAU obligations (e.g., deposit procedures).

  4. Check community statutes: they can usually restrict VUT, but typically not seasonal leases unless there’s an explicit clause.

Bottom line: In Valencia, ≤ 10 days = tourist (VUT); > 10 days = seasonal (LAU)—provided purpose and advertising align with “seasonal.” Your two-week minimum is generally compatible with the seasonal route. If you mix in short holiday-style stays or promote it like vacation lodging, it may be reclassified as VUT with the corresponding requirements.

No—the will and the probate deed are not public. Only heirs/legatees (or someone with a proven legitimate interest) can get copies from the notary.
What you can do:

  • Request a “Certificado de Últimas Voluntades” (with the death certificate) to confirm if there is a will and which notary holds it.

  • Check the Land Registry (nota simple) for any property to see if ownership was transferred by inheritance—this is public and often shows if the estate has been implemented, at least for real estate.
