I particularly appreciate your individual approach
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Spain Bridge team for their attentive service at every stage of the process. Thanks to your support, the entire process went smoothly. I particularly appreciate your individual approach and genuine desire to help.
The consultation with the gestor went very well
The consultation with the gestor went very well, thank you. There was a long list of questions, and we spent the entire hour discussing them without interruption. I will likely take some more.
It was informative, I recommend
I took tax advice with questions about my income tax return. It was informative, I recommend it.
And even after the task was completed, they didn't abandon me
Good evening! I still haven't gotten around to writing a review about Spain Bridge's work. Many thanks to the team that worked with me: Alena and Svetlana. They did everything perfectly. And even after the task was completed, they didn't abandon me. It was pleasant…
They resolved all issues very quickly, even though the case was complicated
The guys at Spain Bridge are simply amazing. They resolved all issues very quickly, even though the case was complicated, both in terms of employment and our visa history. But they resolved everything, helped with everything, and everything was great, especially their quick response to…
We fully trusted them — and they never let us down
I would like to leave a review about working with Spain Bridge. They helped us get a visa through Autonomo, we applied and successfully received it after 1.5 months. We chose Spain Bridge because of the price, and we liked that everything was turnkey. Among…
We submit declarations on time and without penalties
Hi, I wanted to share my review about working with Gestor (spanish accountant/lawyer) Alexey Kuleshov. I've been working with the lawyer since December 2023, starting with the process of opening an Individual Entrepreneur status with a passport (visa), as it was possible to do with…
Insights into Spanish Taxation: Essential Features Unveiled
A couple of months ago, I had a consultation where they explained the Spanish tax system, including the Beckham Law, in a very clear and understandable manner. They even provided a demo calculation based on our current income conditions. All our questions were answered, and…
I consider the cost quite budget-friendly for the level of consultation
Had a conversation with Alexey. We worked through 5-6 questions in an hour. I consider the cost quite budget-friendly for the level of consultation. I think that after relocation I will at least start working with him as autonomo.
Overall, satisfied with the result
Had a consultation about a month ago. They explained the specifics of Beckham law and the general system, calculated an approximate tax declaration for the family, and the peculiarities of filing now as autonomo. Overall, satisfied with the result.
FAQ
They are two sides of the same process; you can't have one without the other. Registering as an autónomo establishes your self-employed status, while Social Security enrollment is the mandatory contribution system that accompanies it.
The good news: when you first register, you qualify for a reduced rate of €80/month for your first year. If your annual income remains below Spain's minimum wage (SMI), this rate can be extended for a second year. Additionally, some regions run programmes that refund new autónomos' first-year contributions; which regions and on what conditions changes from year to year. We will confirm the current rules for your region when we assist with your setup.
It gets expensive quickly. If you file late on your own, a surcharge applies: 1% plus 1% for each full month of delay, rising to 15% plus late-payment interest after 12 months (article 27 of the General Tax Law). If the tax office finds the unpaid tax first, penalties run from 50% to 150% of the amount (article 191). Unpaid tax debts can end in bank account seizures and can be taken into account when you renew your residence permit.
The simplest way to avoid all of this is to have someone track your deadlines for you, which is exactly what we do.
- Business expenses: as an autónomo, you can deduct costs directly related to your professional activity. This includes your software subscriptions (e.g., Adobe, Figma, ChatGPT, Gemini), advertising, professional training, and similar costs.
- Family allowances: if your children are under 25 and live with you, the "minimum for descendants" (article 58 of the IRPF Law) exempts €2,400 for the first child, €2,700 for the second, €4,000 for the third, and €4,500 for the fourth and each further child. Children under 3 add €2,800.
- Private health insurance: as an autónomo, you can deduct up to €500 per person per year (€1,500 for those with a disability).
- The 5% "catch-all" deduction: autónomos under the simplified direct method can deduct 5% of your net income for "difficult-to-justify" expenses, up to a maximum of €2,000 per year.
