How it works
Four papers, three answers and two signatures from you. Everything else is our work. Here is every step, and whose turn it is.
Tell us about your home
YouChoose your situation and answer three questions: did you rent it out, which country do you live in, and is the home only yours. About two minutes, online or on the phone. No tax knowledge needed.
Send four papers and accept the work
YouThe first five pages of your deed (or a Form 210 from another year), your last IBI receipt and your passport with your NIE, within 5 days. Then a certificate from your bank showing the account is in your name: it can follow. Our engagement letter sets out the work and our fee, VAT included: you accept it and pay our fee before we file. The tax itself is not part of the fee.
We check and prepare
Our legal teamA qualified lawyer reviews every paper and prepares your Form 210 with your town's rules. If anything needs clarifying, we ask you.
Sign the Hacienda authorisation
YouOnce we have checked your papers, we send you a separate one-page authorisation that lets us file your return with Hacienda. Sign it on your phone with your finger, with a digital certificate, or on paper. Before we file, you also get your details in five lines to check.
We file, and the tax is paid
Our legal teamWe submit your Form 210 to the AEAT with our digital certificate. The tax goes from your own account straight to Hacienda, never through us: by direct debit, set up with the filing, or, for a sale or a late year, with the reference we give you, from your bank or by transfer from abroad. If your account is in Spain, your bank must have your NIE on file.
You receive the official receipt
Your receiptThe official AEAT receipt, with its reference number, is sent to you. It is the only proof that your return is filed, so we never call it done before you have it.
Your part
Four papers, three answers and two signatures: our engagement letter and the Hacienda authorisation. About 10 minutes. No tax knowledge needed — we tell you exactly what to send.
Our part
Review every paper, prepare your filing, check your details with you, submit it to the AEAT, and deliver the official receipt sent to you. Typically 5–10 business days from complete documentation.
Common questions about the process
What if I don't have all my documents?
Upload what you have. After our initial review, we'll tell you exactly what's missing and help you find it.
What if my bank does not have my NIE?
Ask your bank to add it before the tax is paid: without it, the bank rejects the payment. That is why we ask for a certificate from your bank and check it before we file.
What if my situation is complex?
Book a consultation. A qualified lawyer will review your specific situation and recommend the best approach.
