Accountants for foreign clients in Spain

Foreign clients in Spain include non-resident owners, expats running a business, investors with a Spanish property company and foreign groups with a subsidiary or branch. Their questions are different from those of a local small business: ownership structures, a tax identification number for non-resident owners, dividends that leave the country and reporting in a second language. A non-resident individual generally needs an NIE, the foreigner identity number, before the company can be formed.

Ask how many of the firm’s clients are foreign, which countries they come from, whether there is a named contact who speaks your language and how the firm handles information requests from your home tax office.

320 firms state a focus on foreign clients: 246 accounting firms, 58 law firms and 16 corporate services providers. English is offered by 230, French by 73, German by 44 and Dutch by 16. Real estate is the industry named by 98 firms. Branches are handled by 47 and subsidiaries by 30. Start from the Spain guide or send a single quote request.

Frequently asked questions

What makes an accountant suitable for foreign clients?

Working languages, familiarity with non-resident rules and with cross-border structures, and a clear way of reporting to owners abroad. Profiles show languages and entity types, so compare those first.

Do foreign owners pay different taxes in Spain?

Residency and the type of income can change the position, for example on dividends or on property held through a company. A firm used to foreign clients can explain how your case would be treated.
