Tax Advice in Barcelona

We develop, together with our clients, an appropriate tax planning strategy to meet tax obligations, minimise tax burden, and optimise the use of the company’s economic resources. We consider all legal alternatives and propose strategies for each case.

Our team has extensive experience in all types of national and international tax matters, both in the field of individuals and companies.

In this regard, being aware of the impact of globalisation on the internationalisation of business and individual decisions, we offer international advisory services both in the field of direct and indirect taxation, as well as preparation and presentation of mandatory tax and legal declarations.

In recent years, the Authorities have increased the tax control of taxpayers in many sectors, which is why it is more necessary than ever to have a good advice and tax planning, with the aim, not only of optimizing taxation but of complying in the most diligent and efficient way with all the obligations that are required every day by the Tax Authorities and other public entities (Commercial Registry, Bank of Spain, etc.).

FAQs: Tax Consulting in Barcelona

When does a company need to hire a tax consulting firm in Barcelona?

The moment a company begins operations, it already has tax obligations: quarterly VAT filings, withholding taxes, corporate tax, and annual financial closing, among others. Having tax advice from the start prevents errors, penalties, and unnecessary payments. For growing companies or those with international operations, tax advice ceases to be an expense and becomes a strategic planning tool.

What is the difference between a bookkeeping service and a tax advisory service?

A tax agency primarily handles the processing and filing of taxes on a recurring basis. A tax advisory firm goes further: it analyzes each client’s situation, proposes alternatives to reduce the tax burden, anticipates regulatory changes, and supports business decisions with tax implications. At GM Tax Consultancy, we provide a proactive advisory service, not mere processing.

What is tax planning and how can it benefit my business?

Tax planning consists of structuring business operations and decisions so that the tax burden is as low as possible within the legal framework. This can include choosing the most favorable tax regime, optimizing corporate tax, taking advantage of deductions and credits, or structuring transactions between related companies. Well-executed planning can result in significant and sustained tax savings over time.

What is the Beckham Law and who can take advantage of it?

The Beckham Law is the colloquial name for the special expatriate regime set forth in Article 93 of the IRPF Law. It allows individuals who move their tax residency to Spain to be taxed as non-residents during the year of arrival and the following five years, applying a flat rate of 24% on the first €600,000 of employment income. It is available to workers relocated by a company, executives, entrepreneurs, and digital nomads, among others, provided they have not been tax residents in Spain for the last five years and meet the specific requirements for each case.

Am I required to file Form 720 if I have assets abroad?

Yes, if you are a tax resident in Spain and you have assets or rights abroad whose combined value exceeds €50,000 in any of the three categories provided (bank accounts, securities, and real estate), you are required to file Form 720. Historically, non-compliance has carried very severe consequences, although the regulations have been partially modified following court rulings. In any case, it is essential to analyze each situation with a specialized advisor before deciding how to proceed.
