Tax and fiscal advice

Tax, Fiscal and Legal Advice

While residents in Spain pay taxes on their income worldwide, non residents are taxed only on their income from sources within Spain. That is why residency is so important. We offer tax, fiscal and legal advice for residents and no residents.

If you are tax resident in Spain and receive income from another country where tax is deducted at source you may qualify for tax relief in Spain on this foreign income.

Our tax and fiscal services comprise:

• Company taxes and book keeping.
• Appeals against Tax Authorities/Tax repayment claims.
• Preparation of tax returns and payment on behalf of the client of local, regional and national taxes.
• Assistance during tax inspection proceedings.
• Tax Management.

In order to help meet the yearly requirement of filing returns it is advisable to appoint a Fiscal Representative in Spain. We also offer this service to our clients. The representative is required to acquire the forms, complete them, and pay the taxes due, all within a required period of time.

Non resident taxpayers have an obligation to appoint a representative with residency in Spain in the following situations:

• 1.- When they operate through a permanent establishment
• 2.- When they do not operate through a permanent establishment but provide services, technical assistance, installation or assembly work derived from engineering contracts and in general activities or financial operations in Spain not through a permanent establishment.
• 3.- Whenever the Tax Administration requires it.
• 4.- For residents of countries or territories with no effective tax information exchange agreement in force, when they are holders of assets located in, or rights to be settled or exercised in Spain, other than securities traded in official secondary markets.

However, taxpayers may voluntarily appoint a representative with residence in Spain who can serve as a communications liaison with the Tax Administration.

The representatives of non resident taxpayers operating in Spain through a permanent establishment and of flow-through entities established abroad with a "nexus” in Spain will be primarily liable for their tax liabilities.
