The IRPF Spanish income tax declaration is open: What do I do now?

Starting April 11, residents living in Spain and anyone with income in Spain must file their tax returns

The window for filing your IRPF Spanish income tax returns has opened on Tuesday April 11, 2023, and you now have no more than 80 days to present your earnings and income in Spain for the natural year 2022.

Almost all residents in Spain – including foreign nationals – must file their tax returns, known in Spanish as the ‘Impuesto sobre la Renta de las Personas Fisicas’ or IRPF for short, though there are some exceptions.

The IRPF works in Spain by taxing all residents based on their entire income over the previous year. Non-residents who only live in Spain for up to half the year are taxed a 24% flat rate on income earned within Spain.

How much do I have to earn before paying tax in Spain?

For the 2022 and 2023 Spanish tax years, under-65s have to have earned at least 5,500 euros before paying tax in Spain. For over-65s, this amount is 6,700 euros and for people aged over 75 years old the amount is 8,100 euros.

Some people try to get away with not declaring their taxes or simply do not know that they have to. But as of this year, the Spanish Tax Agency has introduced a much stricter Tax Control Plan to deal with foreign residents who either do not declare their income or declare as non-residents.

How do I do my IRPF tax returns in Spain?

It is possible to declare your earnings yourself online, but the process is complex and not user friendly, especially if your first language is not Spanish legalese.

Many ex-pats in Spain, both residents and non-residents, prefer to contract the services of a professional tax expert to file their tax returns on their behalf, ensuring the process is simple, correct and stress-free.
