Model 720 – Informative declaration of assets and rights located abroad – includes the assets and rights located abroad of a Spanish taxpayer.
It is an annual tax obligation of an informative nature.
The filing of the declaration must be carried out electronically between January 1 and March 31 of the year following the one to which the information to be supplied refers.
