What is a TIE card and do I need one to be a resident in Spain? On the 6th of July 2020 the Spanish government introduced a new residency document to replace the current EU Residency Certificate for UK nationals. This document is a foreigner’s identity card (TIE, or  Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero ) specifically for UK nationals, which reflects the fact that the holder is a beneficiary of the Withdrawal Agreement between the UK and the EU. Therefore they will be able to reside in Spain and continue enjoying their rights after the end of the transition period. What is the TIE, exactly? The TIE is a biometric card that contains the identity details of a foreigner who lives in Spain. For many years this has been the identity card for residents from outside the EU and the EEA. This card will now be issued also for British nationals with a special note stating that the holder benefits from the Withdrawal Agreement for residency purposes. The TIE will have the same validity as the g...

Idealista, the Spanish property portal, produced some interesting figure on "asking prices" of property on the Spanish coast. Of notable interest to us is the Costa Blanca where average asking prices since April 2020 last year have increased by approximately 3%. In short the COVID 19 pandemia has not had the disastrous effect on property prices in the Costa Blanca region. Of course, the number of transactions declined but that is now recovering, only last week the numbers from the from the Instituo Nacional de Estadistica (INE) confirmed that 47,322 property transactions were registered in March with the Spanish Property Registry offices, up 9,6% on the month   previous and a massive increase of 32,4% compared to 2020, and back at pre-COVID levels. The notaries also reported an increase in the number of mortgages signed in March, up 75% year on year. Such data demonstrates that the Spanish real estate sector has left behind the pandemia.

If this is set up by direct debit, then the taxes due will be charged to your account on the 7th June. Make sure your taxes are paid on time, if not the fee charge can be 20% on top. I have received additional emails with details of each payment which will be charged to my bank account on the 7th June. If you need help with this matter, do not hesitate to contact us.
