Professional tax and accounting support across Seville, Málaga, Marbella, Granada, Córdoba, Cádiz and the Costa del Sol.
Accountancy support across Andalucía
Andalucía is one of Spain’s largest and most diverse regions. From international business hubs like Málaga and Marbella to cultural centres such as Seville and Granada, the region attracts retirees, remote professionals, entrepreneurs and property investors from across the UK and Europe.
With more than 650,000 foreign residents, Andalucía has one of Spain’s largest expat populations. However, managing Spanish tax obligations here requires more than general advice. The region applies specific tax reductions and regional rules that can significantly affect:
- Inheritance and gift tax
- Wealth tax allowances
- Property transfer tax
- Stamp duty on new builds
- Regional deductions within income tax (IRPF)
Baleario provides professional accounting services across Andalucía for individuals, non-residents, autónomos and SL companies. We ensure compliance with national Spanish tax law and Andalusian regional variations, working in clear English and Spanish at all times.

Tax rules in Andalucía: what expats should know
While Spain’s core tax system is national, autonomous communities such as Andalucía can adjust certain rates, deductions and thresholds.
Key regional considerations
- Significant inheritance tax reductions for close family members
- Regional wealth tax allowances
- Andalusian property transfer tax rates
- Regional IRPF deductions
- Local regulation of tourist rental licences
For example, inheritance tax in Andalucía has been substantially reduced for spouses and children in recent years. This can materially change estate planning compared to other regions.
Understanding these regional differences is essential when:
- Purchasing property in Marbella or Málaga
- Inheriting assets in Seville or Granada
- Structuring family wealth
- Operating short-term holiday rentals in the Costa del Sol
Baleario ensures your tax planning reflects both Spanish national rules and Andalusian legislation.

Holiday home and tourist rental obligations in Andalucía
Andalucía is one of Spain’s most popular regions for second homes and short-term rentals.
Property owners in areas such as Marbella, Estepona, Nerja, Fuengirola, Cádiz and Granada must consider:
- Annual non-resident income tax

Failure to register a short-term rental correctly can result in significant fines.
We regularly assist property owners with ongoing compliance and corrective filings.

Baleario insight: common risks in Andalucía
“In Andalucía, we frequently see expats assume that regional tax reductions mean simplified compliance. In reality, while inheritance tax may be lower, ongoing reporting obligations remain strict.
The most common issues we encounter include missed non-resident filings, unregistered holiday rentals, and unclear residency status. Early planning makes a significant difference.”
