It can try. That is fought off by showing that the conditions in the General Tax Act are not met and that the director acted diligently.

It depends on the applicable double taxation treaty. We look at that before anything is incorporated.

More about business taxation

What a legal person is

A legal person is an abstract person. It has rights and obligations set out in national and EU legislation, but it has no physical presence. Instead, we are talking about institutions created by one or more people who do have a physical presence: a legal personality of its own with very specific rights and obligations that have to be understood if that legal person is to operate in accordance with the law.

There are also different types of legal person. On the one hand, for-profit legal persons, also known as civil and commercial companies. On the other, not-for-profit legal persons such as non-governmental organisations and foundations. Knowing our administrative and legal framework thoroughly is essential to complying with it according to the type of person involved.

Domestic taxation of legal persons

The liability of legal persons in tax matters is set by the Spanish administrative and legal framework. Getting the most out of tax procedures therefore calls for a deep knowledge of that framework, knowledge our specialist professionals have thanks both to continuous training and to the experience built up over their long careers. On that score, with Escalera & Tuset you will be in good hands at all times.

Taxation in Spain is complex. Our firm puts everything it knows at the disposal of businesses with the aim of getting their tax processes right. We study each case in detail, put forward creative solutions within the law and then put into practice the ones that best suit the interests of those legal persons. Our aim is very clear: to advise you so that you get the most out of it.

Also to avoid worse problems. Not knowing the tax procedures can lead to conduct that amounts to an offence. As we said above, the criminal liability of legal persons goes beyond the criminal liability of each of their directors. If you want to get your tax position right and protect your company, Escalera & Tuset can help. We know everything there is to know about domestic taxation in Spain. We are the experts your company needs.

Domestic taxation, as we said, is complex. We have to understand the legal nature of each type of legal person in order to put the right tax measures in place.

We also support foreign companies looking to establish themselves in Spain. We advise you on international taxes, international treaties and everything else that comes with international taxation.
