What people ask us before they instruct us

Not without checking it. The draft leaves out many deductions that have to be added by hand.

Both are worked out and the better one is filed. We always check.

It depends on where your tax residence is and on the applicable treaty. We work that out from your details.

Reply within the deadline with documents. Do not reply without having it checked: the reply shapes the penalty.

Yes: tax registration, quarterly returns, annual summary and income tax.

More about the taxation of individuals

What a natural person is

A natural person in civil law means anyone with the capacity to acquire rights and take on obligations. As well as that capacity, natural persons have other fundamental attributes: a name, a domicile, a civil status, a nationality, an estate and a legal personality of their own. Those persons enjoy all the rights set out in the Spanish Constitution from the outset.

Also called a natural person, an individual holds those rights from the moment they are born until they die. They can also be extinguished where death is presumed, whether through the person's absence or through an accident. Rights, of course, come with a set of obligations. Such as tax obligations.

Spanish personal income tax

Spanish personal income tax, better known simply as IRPF, is a personal, progressive and direct tax on the income obtained in a calendar year by individuals resident in Spain. It is the main support of the national tax system and a headache for many people every year. At Escalera & Tuset you will find a department specialising in tax matters and able to get the most out of your income tax return.

In the end, the vast majority of individuals do not get enough out of their income tax returns. That means losing very valuable deductions, which can mean a smaller refund or a larger payment once the return is filed. The tax professionals at Escalera & Tuset, by contrast, know every last detail of taxation in Spain. We can advise you so that you get the best possible result.

That is the principle our firm was built around: putting every effort into making sure each client always gets the best deal available. And as legal representative of a natural person, in this case you, we work hard so that your tax position is as good as it can be. Whether it is the income tax return, quarterly VAT returns or non-resident taxation, we are entirely at your disposal.

The tax framework for individuals varies from country to country. How Spaniards resident in Spain are taxed is very different from how those living abroad are taxed. That is no problem for the expert professionals at Escalera & Tuset. If you need advice and oversight on the taxation of Spaniards resident abroad, we can help with that too. We are specialists with extensive experience across every area of taxation.

And all of it thanks to the specialisation with which we approach each branch of law here at Escalera & Tuset. We have lawyers specialising in every area of law, including a tax law department, which allows real depth in both domestic and international taxation. We will work to get the best results available to you.
