Services for international business

The step of expanding your operations internationally is a very big one and, although you know how to manage a business in your own country you will surely need help to confront the new challenges and legal requirements that the new territory requires.

Our team of expertise can advise you on:

  • Local business environment
  • Finance, grants and incentives applicable to your business
  • Finding the best location for your business
  • The labour market
  • Taxation and business structures
  • Accounting and auditing requirements
  • Political and social customs
  • Relations with relevant third parties

UHY Fay & Co will take you through all the steps related to setting up your business in Spain, from the selection of the most profitable legal structure to finding the best location for it, not forgetting the filing of all the documentation required to open a business. Furthermore, we will satisfy all compliance aspects, including maintenance of statutory records and the preparation and filing of annual returns and other documents. You can also, if needed, use any of our offices as the register office for your company.

Taxation

Your company will be liable to Spanish taxes from the moment it becomes resident in Spain or carries on a trade through a branch or an agency. Early tax planning is essential to succeed and our tax experts have extensive experience in advising business and individuals on international tax issues.

We will advise you on organizing your international group structure, including planning the most adequate corporate structure for your investments in Spain to ensure that dividends, interest and royalties are taken into account.

Similarly, your personal tax liability will vary whether you are resident or not in Spain and you will need the assistance of professionals on this matter to take the decision that is best for you.

VAT

Once your business reaches a certain turnover you must register to declare the VAT. A complex and frequently changing area that might provide opportunities for saving if the advice of a specialist is sought at the outset.

With UHY Fay & Co you will not have to worry about the VAT or the thought of loosing saving opportunities, we will make sure that all the options are evaluated and will organise transactions in order to minimise VAT costs.
