Frequently asked questions on taxation
What taxes does a company have to pay in Spain?
Companies in Spain are subject to various tax obligations, among which the Corporate Income Tax (IS) stands out. It taxes business profits at a general rate of 25%, and VAT applies to the sale of goods and services. Additionally, depending on the company’s activity and location, there may be other regional and municipal taxes, such as the Economic Activities Tax (IAE) or specific local fees.
Consult with our tax advisors to ensure full compliance with all your tax obligations and optimize your tax burden.
What is tax planning and why is it important?
Tax planning is a strategy designed to optimize the tax burden of companies and self-employed individuals without breaching regulations. Through proper structuring of income and expenses, the use of tax deductions, and the application of legal incentives, it is possible to minimize the amount of taxes payable. In addition, it allows you to anticipate legislative changes and make strategic decisions to improve business profitability.
Our tax advisors can help you design a tax plan tailored to your situation and goals.
How can a tax advisor help to reduce taxes legally?
A tax advisor analyzes the financial situation of a company or self-employed professional to apply tax deductions, allowances, and exemptions. Some strategies include choosing the most beneficial tax regime, planning asset depreciation, optimizing business structures, and taking advantage of available tax incentives.
If you want to pay only what is fair and legally optimize your tax liability, get in touch with our team of tax advisors.
How does international taxation affect companies?
Companies with a presence in different countries must comply with both local and foreign tax regulations, apply double taxation treaties, and manage transfer pricing in related-party transactions. They must also correctly calculate VAT in international transactions and ensure compliance with the tax laws of each country.
If you operate internationally, our global tax experts can help you avoid penalties and optimize your taxation.
What is Corporate Tax and who should pay it?
The Corporate Income Tax (IS) is a tax that all companies and legal entities in Spain must pay on their annual profits. The general tax rate is 25%, although there are reductions for startups, newly established entities, and — as a new development in 2025 — also for micro-SMEs and small-sized entities.
Proper management and planning of Corporate Income Tax allow for tax burden optimization and help avoid penalties.
What to do if I receive an injunction from the Tax Office?
If you receive a tax notice or audit, it is essential to act quickly. You must gather all required tax and accounting documentation, review the notification carefully, and have a specialized tax advisor who can prepare an effective defense. Ignoring or delaying your response may lead to financial penalties.
If you’ve received an inspection, contact our tax advisors to handle the process safely and efficiently.
What are the most common tax penalties and how to avoid them?
Among the most common penalties are late filing or failure to file taxes, errors in tax returns, omission of income, or the improper application of deductions. These penalties can range from surcharges of 5% to 20%, to significant fines in cases of bad faith.
The best way to avoid them is through proper tax planning, full compliance with all tax obligations, and solid professional advice.
What is tax residence and how is it determined?
A person is considered a tax resident in Spain if they spend more than 183 days per year in the country, have their center of economic interests in Spain, or if their family resides in Spanish territory. Being a tax resident means being taxed on worldwide income, that is, all income earned both inside and outside of Spain.
If you have questions about your tax residency status and its impact on your taxation, consult our experts.
How are foreign investments taxed in Spain?
Foreign investments may be subject to Personal Income Tax (IRPF), Corporate Income Tax, or specific withholding taxes, depending on the type of investment and the country of origin. The correct application of double taxation treaties helps reduce the tax burden and prevents the same income from being taxed in two countries.
If you invest in Spain, our tax advisors can help you structure your investment in the most efficient way.
What is double taxation and how can it be avoided?
Double taxation occurs when the same income is taxed in two different countries. To prevent this, Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs) are applied, allowing for the reduction or elimination of taxation in one of the countries through deductions or tax exemptions.
What are the tax benefits for startups and entrepreneurs?
Startups and newly established companies can benefit from tax incentives such as a reduced Corporate Income Tax rate, R&D&I deductions, and advantages in investor taxation. These measures are aimed at promoting innovation and entrepreneurship.
If you’re starting a business, we can help you take advantage of all the tax benefits available for your company.
How to optimize a family business fiscally?
Proper tax planning for family businesses helps reduce the impact of the Inheritance and Gift Tax, Wealth Tax, or Solidarity Tax on Large Fortunes, apply allowances on the transfer of shares, and ensure business continuity without excessive tax burdens.
What taxes are paid on an inheritance or donation?
The Inheritance and Gift Tax varies depending on the autonomous community and the degree of kinship between the donor
How are dividends and corporate profits taxed?
Dividends are taxed under Personal Income Tax (IRPF) as investment income, with progressive rates ranging from 19% to 30%, depending on the autonomous community.
The application of deductions and proper tax structuring can help minimize their impact.
What is a model 347 and when should it be presented?
The Form 347 is an informative declaration of transactions with third parties exceeding €3,005.06 in a year. It is submitted in February, and failure to file it may result in penalties.
When do tax debts to the Treasury expire?
Tax debts in Spain generally have a statute of limitations of 4 years, unless the period is interrupted by audits or requests from the Tax Agency. However, for the verification of tax bases or amounts offset or pending offset, as well as deductions applied or pending application, the Tax Authority may initiate a review within 10 years from when they were generated and declared.
What if I don’t file my tax returns on time?
Delays in filing tax returns may result in surcharges, late-payment interest, and financial penalties. In severe cases, failure to file may lead to sanctioning procedures and asset seizures.
If you need to regularize your tax situation, contact our advisors to avoid penalties and optimize your taxation.
