Renta (Annual Tax Return)
Modelo 100 - Declaración de la Renta
Your annual income tax declaration (Declaración de la Renta) is due each spring. We ensure you claim all deductions, report foreign income correctly, and stay compliant with Spanish tax law.
The Renta (officially Modelo 100) is Spain's annual income tax return, filed each spring for the previous year's income. It's where your total tax liability is calculated, accounting for all income sources, deductions, and already-paid taxes. For expats, it's particularly important to correctly handle foreign income, international tax treaties, and special regimes like the Beckham Law.
