Wealth Tax
In 2008 100% of exemption was introduced but on the 17th of September 2011 Spanish Government reintroduced Wealth Tax as an emergency measure of recovering some income and they changed the 100% exemption to a tax free allowance of 700.000€ for 2011 and 2012. So all those individuals with net wealth that exceeds 700.000€ will be obliged to file the Spanish Wealth Tax.
