Running a business in Ibiza
The Ibiza season compresses most of the year's turnover into a few months, with seasonal staff, high VAT figures and cash flow peaks. That makes quarterly planning essential: VAT and payroll returns in summer are large, and corporate tax prepayments follow. Businesses working for villa owners, such as cleaning, concierge or maintenance, must also invoice VAT correctly to private clients.

How we work with businesses
You send us invoices and bank statements each month or quarter through a shared folder, and we keep the books, file the returns and send you a short report with the figures and the tax due. Before each deadline you know what will be paid, and we advise on salary, dividends and investments as the business grows.
Our general service page explains the rules in more detail: Accountant in Spain. We also advise in Mallorca, Menorca.
An illustrative example
Based on situations we commonly see; not a specific client. A Swedish-owned beach restaurant in Sant Josep changed accountants after a penalty for late payroll returns. We took over the books mid-year, regularised the filings and set up a monthly report so the owners always knew the tax due before each deadline.
This page is published by Castell.tax, the tax practice of Castell.law in Palma de Mallorca. It is general information; tax rules and rates change, so check your case with us before filing.
Not sure what you owe? Ask before the deadline
Send us your situation or the letter you received. A tax adviser will tell you what applies, what it could cost and what to file.
