Accounting in Spain

Managing accounting in Spain requires knowledge of local regulations, tax systems, and reporting requirements. For Swedes, the differences compared to Sweden can create uncertainty and increase the risk of errors.

We help companies and the self-employed manage their accounting in Spain correctly and efficiently, so that you gain control over your finances and meet all requirements.

How does accounting work in Spain?

Accounting in Spain involves ongoing bookkeeping, tax returns, and reporting to authorities according to Spanish regulations.

Requirements and scope depend on your business activities:

Autónomo (self-employed/sole trader)

Bookkeeping requirements depend on the tax regime. In many cases, simplified registers (libros registro) of income, expenses, and investments are sufficient, rather than full bookkeeping according to accounting standards.

Sociedad Limitada (SL)

Requires full bookkeeping according to Plan General de Contabilidad (PGC). Annual accounts must be prepared and submitted (deposited) to the Registro Mercantil. Ongoing accounting must follow formal requirements for structure, documentation, and archiving.

International operations

Operations with links to several countries may entail additional requirements, such as assessment of permanent establishment, handling of cross-border transactions, and coordination between different tax systems.

The regulatory framework differs from Sweden, especially regarding reporting intervals and administrative requirements.
