The Spanish government has introduced a new regulation requiring property owners who rent out their properties to register and obtain a Rental Registry Number.
This new obligation aims to enhance transparency, ensure compliance with tax regulations, and regulate the growing short-term rental market. Here’s what you need to know about this new requirement and how to comply.
The Rental Registry Number is a unique identification number assigned to rental properties in Spain. It is now mandatory for landlords who offer properties for both long-term and short-term rentals, particularly those listed on platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo..
Property owners who:
Rent out their property for short-term tourist stays.
Offer long-term rentals under a formal contract.
List their property on rental platforms or through agencies.
The registration process varies by region, but the general steps include:
Submitting an application to the regional property or tourism authority.
Providing documentation, such as proof of property ownership and compliance with local rental laws.
Receiving the unique registry number, which must be displayed in all rental advertisements.
The Spanish government aims to:
Regulate the rental market and prevent illegal rentals.
Improve tax compliance by tracking rental income.
Enhance guest safety by ensuring properties meet required standards.
Protect tenants by distinguishing between legal and illegal rental operations.
Registering your property for rental purposes means:
Declaring rental income in Spain through the appropriate tax forms.
Non-Resident Tax (Modelo 210): If you are a non-resident, rental earnings must be declared quarterly.
VAT and Tourist Tax (if applicable): Some short-term rentals may require VAT registration and guest tax payments.
