VAT and Property Tax use the same national wording as Dénia without changing the 21% rate or annual cadastral basis. Attractive Tax System for Digital Nomads narrows the wording to employed remote workers with the international telework visa, retaining the conditional 24% and 47% withholding bands and six tax periods. Best Coworking Space address, price and hours, Best Hospital address, Main Train/Transit Hub address, Museums & Art Venues address and the historical Local Markets hours were confirmed and retained; current coworking tariffs, current Local Markets hours and former Networking Events frequency are explicitly listed as not verified.
