Spanish taxes in Torrevieja
Modelo 210, IBI bonifications, ITP and ISD for property owners in Torrevieja — handled by a licensed colegiado who lives the Costa Blanca.
What property owners in Torrevieja need to know
Torrevieja is the densest British and Northern European enclave on the Costa Blanca — roughly 75 % of property transactions involve foreign buyers, with British, Dutch, Belgian and Scandinavian residents dominating. The town's IBI ordenanza fiscal includes a domiciliación bonus that's often missed by remote gestores, and the volume of UK pensioners filing modelo 210 every December makes this our highest-frequency municipio. We file IRNR for several hundred Torrevieja property owners annually and know which Torrevieja calles fall under valor catastral revised <10 años (1.1 % rate) vs unrevised (2 %).

Specific questions about Torrevieja
- What is the IBI rate in Torrevieja for a non-resident with a holiday flat?
- Torrevieja's urban IBI rate for residential property is set by the municipal ordenanza fiscal and is paid annually by every owner — resident or non-resident — based on cadastral value. The town hall offers a small direct-debit bonification (typically 5 %) that we activate automatically when we take on a new Torrevieja client. We confirm the exact current rate from the latest ordenanza published in BOP Alicante.
- Do I need to file modelo 210 every year if my Torrevieja flat is empty most of the year?
- Yes. Imputed rental income (1.1 % or 2 % of cadastral value depending on whether it was revised in the last 10 years) is filed every year by 31 December of the year following the income year, even if the property sits empty. Skipping it is the single most common error we fix for new Torrevieja clients arriving from a previous gestor.
- I rent my Torrevieja flat for the summer only. How is the rental income taxed?
- You file modelo 210 quarterly for the rental quarters and the annual imputed-income 210 for the empty months. EU/EEA residents (post-Brexit UK retained the regime by treaty) pay 19 % on net rental income with expenses deductible. Non-EU residents pay 24 % on gross rental income with no deductions.
