Tax Services for Self-Employed in Spain

This service is for self-employed individuals and freelancers - known as autonomos in Spain - including those in sectors like digital consultancy, creative professions, and personal services. 

It is especially beneficial for expats navigating the Spanish tax system for the first time - such as those taking advantage of the new digital nomad visa in Spain - or for those seeking to optimise their fiscal obligations while complying with local tax regulations.

• Registration with the Spanish Social Security as an autónomo (self-employed).
• Registration with the Spanish Tax agency to register for VAT purposes
