New annual VUDA reporting

Raymundo LarraĆ­n Nesbitt, February, 3. 2026

I would like to inform you that Ministerial Order VAU/1560/2025, published on 31 December 2025, makes it mandatory for all landlords of holiday rentals (short-term or seasonal lets) to file an annual electronic report with the VUDA (the VUDA is Spain’s new short-term rental registry).This report offers a detailed breakdown of guests, accommodation dates, etc.

It is mandatory for all landlords who attained an NRA code, to file said annual report with the VUDA electronically.

Period to file it

From the 2nd of February to the 2nd of March 2026.

Reporting period

It covers the previous year, all of 2025.

Every rental made during 2025 must be reported to the VUDA.

Do you need a power of attorney to file it?

No, we don’t need a POA to file it on your behalf electronically.

Do you need a spreadsheet?

If you already filed your annual rental income tax with us, we don’t need anything else.

However, if you do not, then we need to email you a spreadsheet with the sections you need to populate.

Legal consequences of not filing the new annual VUDA report

  • You will be stripped of your NRA code (which gives way to the below bullet points)
  • You will no longer be able to rent out legally in Spain
  • This opens you up for the huge fines and penalties that autonomous regions in Spain levy, ranging from 3,000 euros to 1mn euros in Catalonia
  • Your listings will be removed by rental property platforms (AirBnb, etc)
  • Suspension of your ability to legally rent online going forward

We offer this legal service: VUDA/NRA annual landlord report filing

The bottom line is that if you are a landlord, and rent out short-term in Spain, you need to comply with this to stay legal and avoid fines and charges against your property.
