What we do

Being autónomo, explained in English

In Spain, freelancers register as autónomos. That means registering with the tax office and with Social Security, charging VAT where it applies, filing VAT and income tax every quarter and paying a monthly Social Security contribution.

We take care of all of it. Before you register, we review your activity, your clients (Spanish, EU or outside the EU) and whether you can access the reduced flat-rate contribution.

Once you are up and running, you send us your invoices and expenses each quarter and we file everything on time.

Included

What we take care of

Let's talk about your situation

Tell us what you need and we will tell you what applies to you and what it costs.

In detail

What you need to know

Before you register

You need your NIE and, if you are not an EU citizen, authorisation to work as self-employed. Once you have them, we register you.

Social Security contribution

Contributions depend on your net earnings, and new autónomos can pay a reduced flat rate during their first months.

VAT with foreign clients

Services to businesses in other EU countries are usually invoiced without Spanish VAT and reported in Modelo 349. Services to clients outside the EU follow different rules. We set this up correctly from day one.
