Frequently asked questions
When do I have to register in the Spain?
- Do you store goods in the Spain?
- Do you sell goods in the Spain and exceed the turnover threshold of 10,000€?
- Do you receive a logistics service offer from Amazon, such as the Central Europe (CEE) program?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, tax registration in Spain is mandatory.
For Amazon's PAN-EU fulfillment program, please note the following: By participating in the PAN-EU FBA program, you authorize Amazon to store your goods in Spain. This does not require any further approval on your part, Amazon acts independently within the PAN-EU program. Therefore, if you are part of Amazon's PAN-EU FBA program, you must register for VAT in Spain.
Do I have to register in Spain when I join the OSS program?
No. Here, the threshold of 10,000€ no longer applies. Instead, the sales tax is paid once to the domestic (German) tax office. This distributes the taxes with the country-specific VAT rates to the foreign tax offices, in this case to the Spanish tax office with the Spanish tax rate. This means that VAT registration in Spain is no longer required.
Registration for the OSS procedure is particularly advisable for companies that have higher distance sales to European countries and exceed the turnover threshold of 10,000€. Our tax experts are always available to assist you in registering for the OSS procedure.
For smaller companies it is worthwhile to pay attention to the individual case, as the VAT rates in Spain are higher than in Germany. We advise you in detail and individually on all VAT questions and problems - always with the aim of minimizing your tax load.
What documents are needed for tax registration in Spain?
- VAT certificate from all other VAT identification numbers
- Excerpt from the commercial register
- Further declarations
- Articles of association and certificate of incorporation
- If necessary, power of attorney of the legal representative in Spain
What do I need to consider when making an intra-Community transfer?
Anyone who transfers goods from Germany to another EU country - in this case Spain - must first declare an intra-Community transfer. Normally, the transfer is tax-free. However, this is only the case if the VAT registration in the transferred country takes place, for example, bevor the CEE program is activated. Only with the local VAT ID goods can be shipped to the Spain without any tax risks.
For what do I need the VAT ID in Spain?
With the Spanish VAT ID, your goods and services transactions in Europe are clearly assigned to your company. The Spanish VAT number is called El número de identificación a efectos del Impuesto sobre el Valor Anadido and is shortened to N. IVA.
