Life in the Canary Islands

In November 2020 we took part in a webinar organised by Blacktower Financial Management Group. With a panel including Costa Women, EBF Consulting, Age in Spain and TaraBiz Condado we talked about life on the Canary Islands.

This informative talk, formatted in an Q&A session, covered the latest information for new arrivals as well as foreign residents already living in the Canaries.

  5. If I purchase a property in Spain and do not become a Tax Resident does this mean I have no tax to pay in Spain?
  6. Is it true that we have to pay tax to the Spanish tax man. on Spanish property even if we don’t rent it out?
