What is the difference between fiscal resident and resident in Spain?

Answer 1

In Spain, a fiscal resident is an individual who spends more than 183 days in the country within a calendar year or has their main economic interests in Spain, making them subject to Spanish tax laws. A "resident," on the other hand, generally refers to someone who has established their primary home in Spain, regardless of the number of days spent there. While all fiscal residents are considered residents for tax purposes, not all residents may be classified as fiscal residents if they do not meet the specific criteria for tax residency.
