Trading activities

Enter the details of your business. The start date affects your possible entitlement to corporate tax reduction. Read more.

An S.L. pays corporate tax on the profits it makes. New companies in Spain are subject to a reduced rate of 15%. However, this rate is limited to two specific tax periods:
‍
- The first period in which the company earns profits.
- The period immediately following it, regardless of profit/loss.

For example, if the S.L. is incorporated on Dec. 20, 2024, the reduced rate applies through Dec. 31, 2025. However, if the S.L. is incorporated on January 1, 2025, then the reduced rate applies through December 31, 2026.

Registration as an Intra-community Operator
When you invoice goods or services to companies in other EU countries, it’s advisable to register as an intra-community operator. This way, you can shift the VAT liability to your customer, so you don’t have to calculate or include VAT on your invoice. Your customer is then responsible for declaring VAT in their own country, in accordance with EU regulations. You can read more about this here.

Registration as Intra-community Operator?**

*The specified start date is only a guideline and does not guarantee that the S.L. will actually be active on this date. This also depends on the processing time of the Agencia Tributaria (Tax Office).

**Please indicate whether you want to register as an intra-community operator and, if so, in how many EU countries you expect to do business.

Shareholders

Fill in all the details of the shareholders. This can be either a natural or legal person. Do you want to add more than one shareholder? You can leave the NIE/NIF field blank if you do not yet have it. Then click on 'Add Shareholder' at the bottom. Read more.

Natural persons
Shareholders can be either natural persons or legal entities. It is not necessary for shareholders to receive a (minimum) salary. By appointing a legal representative in Spain, you avoid having to be registered as an autónomo (self-employed person) as a natural person in Spain.

Legal entities
A foreign entity can act as a shareholder of the S.L. Keep in mind that this entity must have a NIF.
