Tourist rental license

Tourist property is considered to be property whose use is mediated by price, usually under immediate availability, and for tourism, holidays or recreational purposes.

It is considered to be so if it usually:

1. It is offered for tourist use by companies that manage tourist properties.
2. It is made available to clients by its owner, regardless of the contracted period and the services provided by the hotel industry.
3. This applies when using tourist marketing channels, including the internet and other new technology systems.

This concept should be differentiated from other housing rentals which, although seasonal, are perceived only as strict accommodation and no additional services are provided.

INFORMACIÓN GENERAL

What can be requested?

Inform the Tourism Administration of any circumstances that affect the use of a tourist property for tourism (start or cessation of activity and changes such as: classification, capacity, ownership, etc.).

Who can apply?

Any person or company, whether or not they own the tourist property, who will make the property immediately available for use by clients for tourism, vacation, or recreational purposes, provided that the allocation is made for this purpose and on a regular basis.

At Vives Pons & Associates, we want to help you obtain this documentation, so we offer a TOURIST ACCOMMODATION PACKAGE, if you have up to 5 properties, which includes:

• Digital certificate
• Property registration in the official database
• Complaint forms
• Mandatory forms
• Official plaque

We also offer an annual maintenance or update service, which includes updating all information in the official database where entries, modifications, and cancellations of your properties are recorded.

We would like to take this opportunity to inform you that if you own property in Spain and are not a resident of Spain, you are required to file a Non-Resident Income Tax return.

• If you rent out the property, you must file two tax returns: one for the rental period and another for the non-rental period. If you rent out the property at different times of the year, you must file quarterly returns.

   

• If you own a property but do not rent it out, you only need to file one annual tax return.

   

• If you own a property and rent it out year-round, it will no longer be considered a holiday rental, and you will need to file quarterly returns.

And if you are a resident in Spain, the income from this rental must be declared in your annual income tax return.
