An NIE number is an identification number for foreigners in Spain. Both Euopean (EU) and non european citizens can have an NIE number.

An NIE number will be needed for both simple and more complex operations, such as:

Register for prívate health insurance in Spain
Open a bank account in Spain
Buy a property in Spain
Set up a company/business in Spain
Start working in Spain
If you wish to live in Spain
If you wish to contract an employee
To file taxes – non resident or resident taxes –

An NIE number is not a fiscal residency identification nor is it a residency permit; residents and non residents can have an NIE number, this number just indicates you have needed or need to operate in Spain. Therefore you can have an NIE number and be a fiscal resident in another country. Tax liability refers to living in Spain for 183 days or more in one year, independent of you having an NIE number or not.
