International tax advice for individuals and companies
Our work on international taxation connects the actual transaction with tax obligations, the available documentation and potential points of dispute. The initial review defines the issue and the order in which to address it.
People with assets in several countries
Assets are inventoried by country, owner, value, income and acquisition date to provide a consolidated view of outstanding obligations and decisions.
International business owners
Personal residence, companies, management roles, remuneration and countries of operation are considered together to identify where each source of income is generated and managed.
Foreign investors
Residence, the investment vehicle, financing, income and the exit strategy are reviewed before capital is committed in Spain.
Spanish residents with investments abroad
Assets, income, taxes withheld and information already reported in Spain are reviewed before the position is corrected or reorganised.
Tax advice for people moving to Spain
In matters of international taxation, tax residence is not determined by a postal address alone. Days of presence, housing, family, economic activity and ties to other countries must be assessed before the move.
Tax residence
We assess the pattern of physical presence, available accommodation, family, activity and ties to other countries to evaluate the residence position.
International income
Each source of income is identified by origin, payer, country, period and tax withheld before Spanish rules are coordinated with those of the other country.
Assets held abroad
Accounts, investments, property and shareholdings are organised by ownership, country, value and income to assess obligations arising from the change of residence.
Foreign companies
The legal form, taxation in the country of origin, owners, activity, profit distributions and place of management are examined to establish the treatment from Spain.
International tax planning
This aspect of international taxation places the tax decision in its wealth, business or procedural context, taking account of the documentation, dates and jurisdictions involved.
International corporate structures
The structure is mapped entity by entity, identifying functions, resources, contracts and flows to check whether it reflects actual operations.
Double-tax treaties
The applicable treaty is considered alongside the nature of the income, the claimed residence position and the taxes actually paid in each jurisdiction.
International investments
Products, holders, country of custody, acquisition cost, returns and transactions are organised to establish the obligations arising from each investment.
international taxation for business owners

Frequently asked questions
When am I a tax resident in Spain?
Tax residence is assessed for each year, taking account of physical presence, housing, family and the centre of interests, as well as the applicable rules if another country also regards the person as resident.
What about my foreign investments?
The answer on international taxation depends on residence, ownership, the documents and the date of the transaction or notice. An initial review identifies which rules and obligations need to be examined.
Should I declare assets located outside of Spain?
Obligations depend on residence, ownership, the type of asset and its value. Before reporting information, it is advisable to prepare a complete inventory and check what has already been included in returns.
Can I maintain companies in other countries?
Foreign structures can be retained, but their treatment depends on their documents, taxation in the country of origin, place of management, activity and the owners' residence. This should be reviewed before operating from Spain.
How to avoid tax problems before moving to Spain?
