Fiscal representative in Spain

Businesses not established in the European Union are obliged to appoint a fiscal representative in Spain if they are VAT registered as a non-resident. In addition, if they wish to apply for a VAT reclaim as part of the 13th VAT Directive process, they must also appoint a fiscal representative.

The fiscal representative is jointly and severally liable for the taxpayer’s VAT liabilities.

What is a fiscal representative?

A fiscal representative is a local VAT agent that is responsible for the timely and accurate management of your tax reporting and payments. They are required of all non-EU businesses that are obliged to register for an EU VAT number.

Fiscal representatives are responsible for the accurate VAT submissions of their non-EU clients. In most cases, they are held jointly and severally liable for their client’s VAT. In the case of negligent supervision or collusion on misreporting of VAT, the fiscal representative will be held liable for any missing VAT. As a result, there is often a requirement for a cash deposit or bank guarantee with the representative.
