The tax rules for foreigners in Spain depend on their tax residence. A person is considered tax resident in Spain if he or she lives in Spain and has his or her main economic ties to Spain. This means that he or she lives, works, or has a business in Spain.

Foreigners who are tax resident in Spain are subject to Spanish taxes on their worldwide income. This includes income from employment, property, interest, dividends, and other sources. Tax rates in Spain are progressive, ranging from 19% to 45%.

Foreigners who are not tax resident in Spain are only subject to Spanish taxes on their Spanish income. This includes income from employment, real estate, and other sources in Spain. Tax rates for non-residents are lower than for residents, ranging from 24% to 35%.
