Direct VAT registration versus OSS
Companies that hold stock in Spain or trade B2B commonly register for Spanish VAT directly. Businesses selling at distance to Spanish consumers can instead account for the VAT through the One-Stop-Shop.
Whichever path applies, your Spanish NIF is the identifier the entire registration rests on.
What we put in place
- The company NIF
- Spanish VAT (IVA) registration where it is required
- Guidance on the OSS for cross-border B2C sales
In Spain
In Spain, the vat (iva) & one-stop-shop is handled through Agencia Tributaria (Spanish Tax Agency); our local team prepares your file and books the NIF registration so it clears first time. We help clients from Málaga to Alicante.
