When it is compulsory

Non-residents who obtain income in Spain without a permanent establishment must appoint a representative in certain cases, particularly residents of countries outside the EU and EEA without exchange-of-information arrangements. Even when not compulsory, many owners appoint one for convenience. See non-resident taxes.

Electronic notifications

Companies and some individuals are obliged to receive notifications electronically. If no one opens them, they are deemed delivered after ten days and deadlines start. We monitor your electronic box for you.

When the tax agency writes

We answer requirements, proposals and sanctions, and represent you in inspections. See a letter from the Spanish tax agency, tax inspections and our tax calendar.

An illustrative example

Based on situations we commonly see; not a specific client. An American owner of a house in Sóller missed two electronic notifications about his imputed-income returns and found a seizure on his Spanish bank account. As his representative, we filed the missing returns, paid the debt, lifted the seizure and now receive every notice for him.
