money in a <strong>non-US financial account<\/strong>, US reporting may apply.<h3>FBAR (FinCEN Form 114)<\/h3><p>If you are a \u201cUS person\u201d for <a

have a financial interest in or signature authority over foreign financial accounts,<br \/>you generally must file an <strong>FBAR<\/strong> if the <strong>aggregate value exceeds $10,000 at any time<\/strong> during the calendar year.<\/p><h3>Form 8938 (FATCA)<\/h3><p><strong>Form 8938<\/strong> is for \u201cspecified foreign financial assets\u201d above thresholds.<\/p><p>Importantly, the IRS explicitly states that <strong>foreign real estate itself is not a specified foreign financial asset required to be reported on Form 8938 <\/strong>(e.g., a personal residence or rental property).<\/p><p>That said, foreign accounts used in the process can still be reportable under FBAR\/8938 depending on facts and thresholds.<\/p><p>If you also have income streams from other countries while living in Spain, those can create additional reporting layers (for a practical example, see <a href=\"https:\/\/delaguialuzon.com\/en\/blog\/declare-uk-income-in-spain\/\">how to declare UK income in Spain<\/a>).<\/p><\/section><section><h2>Step 3: Buying Spanish real estate (Spain-side acquisition taxes)<\/h2><p>In Spain, the taxes at purchase typically depend on whether the property is <strong>resale<\/strong> or <strong>new construction<\/strong>, and the legal form of the transaction.<\/p><p>Two major categories are commonly encountered:<\/p><ul><li><strong>ITP\/AJD (Impuesto sobre Transmisiones Patrimoniales y Actos Jur\u00eddicos Documentados)<\/strong>: A transfer\/transaction tax framework established in <a

<strong>non-residents<\/strong> who own Spanish real estate.<\/p><p>The tax regime most often involved is the <strong>Impuesto sobre la Renta de no Residentes (IRNR)<\/strong>, which taxes income obtained in Spain by non-residents.<\/p><h3>Non-resident \u201cimputed income\u201d on urban property used personally<\/h3><p>If you are a non-resident and you own an urban property for your own use (not rented), Spain can apply an <strong>imputed income<\/strong> concept.<\/p><p>The Spanish tax authority explains the calculation method as generally <strong>2% of the cadastral value<\/strong>, or <strong>1.1%<\/strong> in certain cases, with details provided in their guidance.<\/p><p>You can do this with the AEAT \u201c<a

Spain, and AEAT provides a dedicated IRNR framework and filings.<\/p><p><strong>Model<\/strong> <strong>210<\/strong> is used to declare different kinds of non-resident income (including rental income and imputed income).<\/p><p>AEAT also publishes reference rates for IRNR in certain contexts and explains that EU\/EEA residents may have different rates than others.<\/p><p>If you\u2019re trying to

(Spain withholding + gain reporting; US capital gain reporting)<\/h2><h3>Spain: 3% withholding mechanism when a non-resident sells<\/h3><p>If the seller is a non-resident, Spain has a specific mechanism where the <strong>buyer must withhold and pay 3% of the agreed price<\/strong> as a payment on account of the seller\u2019s tax.<\/p><p>AEAT states this explicitly and indicates the payment is made via <strong>Model 211<\/strong>.<\/p><h3>Spain: Capital gains filing under IRNR<\/h3><p>The seller typically reports the actual gain under IRNR rules using the appropriate non-resident return structure (commonly Model 210),<br \/>with AEAT providing a dedicated page for \u201c<em>ganancias patrimoniales derivadas de la venta de inmuebles<\/em>.\u201d<\/p><h3>US: Worldwide income + reporting the sale<\/h3><p>For US taxpayers, selling foreign real estate can create a US capital gain that is reportable on the US return (commonly through Schedule D\/Form 8949 workflows).<\/p><p>IRS guidance confirms Form 8949 is used to report sales\/exchanges of capital assets and is filed with Schedule D.<\/p><p>If your situation involves multiple jurisdictions, treaty\/credit planning is usually a core part of the analysis.<\/p><\/section><section><h2>How double taxation is usually reduced (treaty + foreign tax credit)<\/h2><p>The US\u2013Spain income tax treaty framework allocates taxing rights in important areas.<\/p><p>For example, treaty language confirms that <strong>income from real property may be taxed in the country where the property is situated<\/strong>.<\/p><p>On the US side, a common relief mechanism is the <strong>Foreign Tax Credit<\/strong>.<\/p><p>The IRS explains that individuals generally claim the foreign tax credit by filing <strong>Form 1116<\/strong> (with limited exceptions).<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-22081 size-full\"
