In some regions of Spain, it&#8217;s also called the SUMA tax.<\/span><\/p> <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like council tax in the UK, the IBI tax helps fund local services such as road maintenance, street lighting, and schools.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paying the IBI tax is essential because it&#8217;s used to calculate other property-related taxes in Spain. <\/span><\/p> <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tax is due every year by the person who owns the property as of January 1st. So, if you buy a home on January 2nd, the previous owner will pay that year&#8217;s IBI tax, and you&#8217;ll begin paying it the following year. <\/span><\/p> <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All property owners, whether residents or non-residents, are required to pay this tax.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some areas, the IBI tax may also cover garbage collection, but this isn\u2019t always the case, so it&#8217;s something to check when purchasing property. <\/span><\/p> <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more details on waste disposal, check out our guide to utilities in Spain.<\/span><\/p> <h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_IBI_Tax_Calculated_in_Spain\"><\/span><b>How is IBI Tax Calculated in Spain?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IBI tax in Spain is based on your property&#8217;s <\/span><b>cadastral value<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is the value assigned by local tax authorities. <\/span><\/p> <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can find this value on your IBI tax documents, and it&#8217;s usually much lower than the property&#8217;s market value.
