Frequently asked questions about accountants in Barcelona
Do I need an accountant as a freelancer (autónomo) in Spain?
Hiring an accountant as a freelancer is not mandatory; nevertheless, it is something really recommended. On the one hand, the time you would have to spend learning about Spanish tax laws (and being up to date with them) can be many times too demanding. Besides, hiring an accountant provides the legal security you need so that you can focus on what matters: running your business and making it grow.
Can I file taxes on my own or is an accountant required?
You can file your taxes on your own, but relying on an expert accountant makes things much easier as you make sure you are not making any mistakes, and submitting all your obligations on time.
What documents do I need to give my accountant?
Typically, we need:
-
Passport + NIE
-
Your Spanish address
-
Digital certificate (if available)
-
Description of your activity
-
Details on clients (Spanish, EU, global)
-
Address where you work (office or home-office)
Our accountants will guide you step-by-step to ensure the onboarding is smooth.
Is the accounting software included?
Yes. All our bookkeeping services in Barcelona include access to our online software. You can upload invoices monthly, track your expenses, check VAT, and keep transparency over your finances: all included with no extra cost.
Do you offer in-person meetings?
Yes. You can meet us at our office in Barcelona or work with us remotely. Most expats prefer remote communication, but we’re happy to adapt.
Can you also help with immigration?
Yes. Unlike a traditional gestoría, we belong to a law firm specializing in immigration and tax for expats in Spain. We can assist with residency permits, digital nomad visas, NIE/TIE, and compliance for your employees: everything under one roof.
Do you help with VAT (IVA) in Spain?
Absolutely. Our accounting services in Barcelona include full VAT management:
-
Calculating input/output VAT,
-
Preparing Form 303 quarterly,
-
Submitting Form 349 for EU transactions,
-
And requesting VAT refunds when applicable.
We ensure your VAT bookkeeping is accurate and submitted on time.
Can you help me register as self-employed in Spain?
Yes. As part of our tax advisory services for expats, we help you register as a freelancer (“autónomo”) by completing:
-
Social Security registration,
-
Form 036/037,
-
activity description,
-
deductible expenses setup (including home-office).
Once registered, we take care of all your bookkeeping and quarterly tax filings.
How often do I need to submit tax reports in Spain?
There are tax reports that must be submitted quarterly (like the VAT), and others yearly (like the corporate tax). Nevertheless, the specific models to be filed will depend on your particular situation, that is why it is best to first get in touch with an accountant to fully understand your tax obligations.
