Do I need a fiscal representative?

    Until comparatively recently it was necessary for a non-resident who owned a property in Spain to appoint a Fiscal Representative, resident in Spain to deal with his tax affairs. This rule has now been relaxed for those whose only asset in Spain is a holiday home. However it is a good idea to employ one as you will find that they are not expensive in general. Without one you will have to submit your own tax returns.  Any assessments will be sent to your Spanish address. If they arrive while you are absent from Spain you may well find that you are out of time to appeal against them if incorrect.
