Euro corporate bonds Witholding Tax - IB

[luisHK]

Hi
Just started buying euro corporate bonds through IB but wondering what the withholding tax situation is.
Hold a bunch of USD bonds and there´s no WT on them, I just pay taxes on interests received in Spain (where I´m resident) the following calendar year
Can´t say a first google search brought clear answers.
With stocks in Europe different countries charge different withholding tax, up to 15% is fine as I can deduct it from my spanish taxes easily, but over that rate it is a problem (it´s the case with german and swiss stocks, and afaik also with french stocks depending on the broker)
Any first hand experience feedback would be most welcome !

Are you a Spanish resident for tax purposes as well, or are you taxed by uncle sam or others as well?

Spanish tax resident, I pay witholding tax to IRS @15% on US stock dividends and 0% on interest payments from US bonds, than I pay some more to Spanish tax authorities-
Up to 15% I can deduct fully from spanish tax, hence it´s fine
