Black's 6th says National is broader than Citizen and refers to a person owing permanent allegience to a state.

Somehow when I hear 'foreign national' in a movie, on tv, etc., I dont think citizen for some reason. If they were interchangeable, why not just say a Spaniard or a Brit or a Spanish Citizen? Why say a Spanish National?

SO if one were a national but not a citizen (if this is legally possible) would that bind you back into the system (to pay taxes)

I believe there are several legal ways to avoid taxes, so depending on which strategy is used, a national may be able to legally avoid taxation.
