Reclaim Your Rental Expenses

If you rent out a property in Spain and live outside the EU/EEA, a recent court ruling may allow you to reclaim overpaid tax on rental income where expenses could not previously be deducted.

From 2025, you can claim back rental expenses for filings made within the last four years. We handle the entire process with the Spanish Tax Office on your behalf.

Can I Reclaim Rental Expenses?

Can I Reclaim Rental Expenses?

If you were taxed on your rental income without deducting expenses, you may now be entitled to reclaim overpaid tax.

Why Reclaim Your Rental Expenses Now?

Prior to 2025, all non-residents residing outside of the EU/EEA could not deduct their rental expenses, unlike EU/EEA residents. Now you can offset these charges by claiming a retroactive refund.

Legally Supported

A recent court ruling in Spain allows rental expenses to be deducted and overpaid tax to be reclaimed, provided the expenses are properly documented.

Time-Sensitive

Reclaims are subject to statutory limitation periods. In most cases, you can reclaim up to the last four tax years - but each year that passes reduces the amount that you can recover.

All Property Types

Long-term rentals, holiday rentals, and other income-generating residential properties may qualify, provided expenses are properly documented.

What expenses can be reclaimed?

You may be able to reclaim tax paid on legitimate, rental-related expenses that were previously not deductible under the non-resident regime.

Property management fees
Community fees and HOA costs
IBI and local property taxes
Insurance premiums
Maintenance and repair costs
Utilities
Mortgage interest
Agency and intermediary fees
Property depreciation costs
Important: Only expenses directly linked to rental activity and supported by valid documentation can be included. Each case is reviewed individually.

I had tried to do this on my own before but got lost in all the forms and translations. IberianTax simplified everything for me and made sure my Modelo 210 forms were submitted correctly. The whole process was smooth, and the customer service team is always very quick to respond
