How to Download Your IBI Receipt in Alicante

If you're a non-resident property owner in Alicante, ensuring compliance with Spanish tax obligations is essential. Even if your property is unoccupied, you're still required to fulfil various tax duties, including reporting imputed income based on the property's cadastral value. To access this crucial information, your IBI (local property tax) receipt is indispensable, as it provides the latest cadastral value updates necessary for tax filing and other purposes.

The calculation of the Imputed Income Tax is based, among other things, on the cadastral value of the property. The most reliable place to find the latest cadastral value of your property is on your IBI (local property tax) bill. This document is issued annually and will reflect any updates to the cadastral value, ensuring you have the most up-to-date information for tax and other purposes.

What is SUMA?

SUMA is an autonomous body created by the Provincial Council of Alicante, whose main functions are to manage and collect municipal taxes in the province of Alicante. Among these taxes is the IBI, which, as mentioned above, contains in its receipt a series of essential data to fill in the imputed income form.

In this post, we will explain how to download the IBI receipt to obtain this information through the SUMA website.

Filing Non-Resident Taxes in Spain

For those who are non-resident property owners in Spain, it's crucial to understand the various taxes that may apply to you. In addition to the IBI tax, you may be subject to other non-resident taxes, depending on how you utilise your property during the year. These taxes are typically filed using the Modelo 210 tax form, on an annual basis.

If you own a property for personal use, even if it sits empty all year round, you'll still need to fill out a Modelo 210 form for your Imputed Income tax by December 31st for the previous year. And if you're renting out your property, you'll also need to submit an annual Rental Income tax form for the previous year. Good news though: Previously, this had to be done every quarter, but recent changes have made it much simpler for non-resident property owners in Spain!
