Does this apply to you?
Do you need to register in Spain?
As soon as one of these situations applies to you, a local VAT number becomes mandatory — often even without a physical presence on site.
-
You store goods on site
Warehouse, logistics provider (3PL) or Amazon FBA stock in Spain: registration is due from the moment you hold stock, even before your first sale.
-
Your distance sales exceed €10,000
Above the European threshold of €10,000 in B2C distance sales, if you have not opted for the OSS one-stop shop.
-
You import goods
You bring goods into Spain to resell, store or process them.
-
You carry out intra-Community transactions
Acquisitions or supplies of goods from or to Spain as part of intra-EU trade.
-
You sell to private individuals on site
Direct sales to private customers located in Spain, where no reverse-charge mechanism applies.
-
You provide locally-supplied services
Services connected to immovable property, or a service linked to a trade fair or event held on site.
A single situation is enough — we register you in Spain, and across Europe.
Good to know: the OSS one-stop shop only covers B2C distance sales. As soon as you hold stock on site, a local VAT number remains mandatory — even with OSS enabled.
Agent or fiscal representative?
Do you need a fiscal representative?
It all depends on where your company is established. Either way, Eurofiscalis handles all of your obligations in Spain from start to finish.

- We act as your tax agent: registration, returns and deadlines handled from A to Z.
- You stay in control of your file, with no joint liability.
- A single English-speaking contact for all your compliance in Spain.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know about fiscal representation in Spain.
What is a tax representative in Spain?
A tax representative in Spain is a certified professional who manages all your tax obligations: NIF registration, monthly VAT/IVA return filings, administrative compliance and representation before the Spanish tax authorities. They engage their professional liability before the authorities.
When do I need a tax representative in Spain?
You need a Spanish tax representative if your company:
- Is established outside the EU or is non-resident
- Imports goods into Spain
- Stores goods on Spanish territory
- Provides services in Spain
- Makes intra-Community acquisitions from Spain
- Risks creating a permanent establishment
Which operations trigger VAT filing obligations in Spain?
The main obligations include:
- Periodic VAT returns (monthly or quarterly depending on the regime)
- EC Sales List (ICE) for intra-Community supplies
- Intrastat declarations if you exceed certain thresholds
- Annual summary declaration (Modelo 390)
- Import VAT declaration
We determine exactly which returns apply to your activity and handle their preparation and filing.
When should I file VAT returns in Spain?
VAT returns are filed monthly, quarterly or annually, depending on your activity. We determine with you the most appropriate frequency to guarantee your tax compliance.
How long does it take to obtain a Spanish VAT number or NIF?
The average time is 40 days from the submission of the complete file. This timeline depends on the AEAT's workload at the time of the application. Our team actively tracks the file and keeps you informed at every step.
What are the differences between a tax representative and a tax agent in Spain?
A tax representative engages their liability before the authorities, which is essential for Spanish tax obligations. A tax agent acts solely in your name and does not bear legal responsibility.
Why choose a tax representative?
A tax representative engages their professional liability before the Spanish tax authorities and the Agencia Tributaria, unlike a tax agent who acts solely in your name. This distinction is crucial for non-resident and foreign companies subject to specific obligations.
Companies established outside the EU or non-residents must appoint a tax representative in Spain to comply with Spanish tax rules, secure their intra-Community operations, avoid Agencia Tributaria penalties, facilitate dealings with the authorities and avoid creating a permanent establishment.
What is the REA in Spain?
The Registro de Empresas Acreditadas (REA) is a mandatory register for certain activities in Spain. Our tax representative manages your REA registration if required based on your intra-Community operations and service activities.
