Do you need help in calculating taxes?
Can a non-resident register a company in Spain?
Yes. A foreigner may be a founder and administrator of a Spanish SL. Identification documents must be prepared, the required Spanish tax or personal identification numbers obtained, and notarial, corporate and banking checks completed.
Can an SL be opened remotely?
In many cases, the main part of the procedure can be completed through a representative acting under a notarised power of attorney. However, the procedure for obtaining an NIE, executing the power of attorney, bank identification and signing documents depends on citizenship, structure and the requirements of the particular institutions.
Is an NIE mandatory?
A foreign individual who participates in notarial incorporation, becomes a shareholder or administrator of the company usually requires an NIE. For foreign legal entities, a Spanish tax identification number is obtained and a separate package of corporate documents is prepared.
What is the current minimum share capital for an LLC (SL)?
The “Crea y Crece” law allows a company (SL) to be registered with share capital from €1. However, the company will be required to allocate 20% of its annual profit to the legal reserve until the combined amount of share capital and reserve reaches €3,000.
Can every startup pay 15% for four years?
No. The extended regime for empresas emergentes requires ENISA certification and compliance with requirements concerning innovation, scalability, age, turnover, structure and presence in Spain. Without such certification, the general rules for newly established companies apply.
