File Modelo 720 (foreign-assets declaration) if any category of overseas assets exceeds €50,000 — filed 1 Jan–31 Mar; reformed flat-rate penalties apply since the 2022 EU court ruling struck down the old proportional regime
Spain's foreign-asset declaration: once you're tax resident, overseas holdings above the title's per-category threshold must be reported in the title's first-quarter window. It's informative — no tax is due on the declaration itself — but it carries penalties for not filing, and its history (the EU court ruling the title mentions) is exactly why it should be taken seriously rather than feared. A gestor files it in an afternoon.
WHEN IT'S DUE
A yearly obligation — each year's window closes at the end of March.
WHY IT MATTERS
Missing this can trigger a financial penalty. Verified against an official government source (AEAT, extranjería, BOE).

LOLA'S TIP
If in doubt, a gestor can prepare this in a day — cheap insurance against a mis-filing.
