Doing Business in Spain Without Boarding a Plane
However, there is another side to the story. Many UK companies selling, hiring, or operating in Spain are inadvertently creating a Permanent Establishment—and triggering Spanish tax obligations—without even realising it.
We invite you to a practical, jargon-free session (conducted in English) that will clarify both sides of this reality.
What we will cover:
– Entering the market without travelling:
S.L. vs branch, incorporation via Power of Attorney, NIE/NIF and tax registration, plus realistic timelines and costs.
The hidden risk of Permanent Establishment for UK companies with local staff, commercial agents, or recurring activity.
– Managing your Spanish subsidiary from the UK:
Directorship changes, Powers of Attorney, and day-to-day corporate management from afar, as well as key aspects of distribution, supply, and agency contracts under Spanish law.
– For Spanish partners working with UK companies:
Negotiating contracts drafted in English and ensuring seamless coordination with UK legal counsel.
