Allowable Expenses for EU/EEA Residents

EU/EEA residents can deduct certain expenses from their gross rental income before calculating the 19% tax. This significantly reduces the taxable amount. Ensure all expenses are legitimate and properly documented.

Filing Your Non-Resident Tax Return (Form 210)

The tax return for non-resident property income is Form 210. This must be filed quarterly, typically by the 20th of the month following the end of each calendar quarter. For example, income earned in January, February, and March is declared by April 20th. Accurate completion is essential. Failure to file on time can result in penalties and interest.
