tourist License

We did ours through Ana Madrid at Mare Nostrum Law and Tax in Los Alcazares. She completed and submitted the form for us but you will have to be there for your inspection visit which for us took about 7 months! You then need to go to the local Guardia Civil to register with them to gain access to their website where you have to register the details of all your guests.

Just be careful. Nothing is ever clear but yet, prevention is the key to a peaceful mind life because you can always say "I did my very best! " 

You have to register in the "Registro de Empresas y Actividades Turísticas de la Región de Murcia".

You can do it online or fill the forms available here.

Good day

yes agree with all of the other contributors.

It might a long process paperwork and tben awaiting both the local and regional inspectors before you can rent and then having to register in and out every person who rents the property with the local police which is now an online process.

However all this much better than the Spanish courts and such massive fines for tax evasion that it bankrupts many of those being caught. Just not worth the chance....and the authorities are checking and patrolling regularly!!

And remember to declare that kind of use in your home insurance!

Do the Spanish government not tax you anyway if you rent or not?

My friend had to pay but didn't rent her place out.

They used to do but that stopped 3 or 4 years ago if I remember correctly.

Cheers so how would they know😜

you have to pay non residents tax whether or not you rent out your property and all  information and activity is tracked and shared so the Spanih government will find out!!
