Life always holds surprises that, for better or worse, can lead to radical changes in one’s life.
In the case of an expatriate (Not only in Spain but in any other country), things might undergo an abrupt change because of, for example, a layoff, family emergencies, social or psychological issues, or simply because a far better job opportunity presented itself elsewhere.
In each of these cases, the common effect is to arrange a new trip, move, and relocation. Often, however, many overlook some aspects that are important to address before leaving Spain (or soon after).
First, if you have acquired tax resident status in Spain you will have to notify AEAT (the Agencia Tributaria) of your change of residence to another country using Form 030 and, in addition to this, send a writing expressly requesting the change of tax status due to the move, attaching documentation to support this. Failure to do this would result in the Spanish tax authorities continuing to consider you as fiscally obligated in Spain and you would have other repercussions as well.
Connected to the previous point (and to be carried out concurrently, if not before communicating with the Agencia Tributaria) is the need to notify your Spanish municipality of residence of the “baja del padron municipal,” i.e., requesting that you no longer be registered in the municipal register of empadronamiento. This, too, in fact, contributes to the fact that the tax authorities can continue to consider you as a tax resident in Spain. Remember that a similar process will also have to be done for any vehicles in your name registered in the “padron municipal.”
Italian citizens, similarly to citizens of other countries, will also have to report their change of residence to the consular authorities (AIRE).
Finally, if you are moving to another European Union member country and during your residence in Spain you have worked, it is absolutely advisable to apply for the issuance of a European U1 document in order to export social security contributions paid in Spain to the country to which you will be moving.
Your NIE (Whether it is in the format of “Certificado de no residente” – a blank document – or “Certificado de registro de ciudadano de la Unión Europea” – a green card as an EU resident – will be good to keep, in case you have to carry out other procedures with the Spanish public administration in the future)
