- Voluntary registration
- No
There is no below-threshold voluntary registration: a business that makes taxable supplies registers before it starts, and there is no turnover exemption to waive.
- A foreign company
- Registers from its first taxable supply; needs a local tax representative
A taxable person not established in the EU must appoint a representative in Spain for its VAT obligations, unless it is established in the Canary Islands, Ceuta or Melilla or in a state with a mutual assistance instrument equivalent to the EU's; businesses using the distance-sales and certain domestic-supply schemes are also exempt from appointing one. A business established in another EU state registers without a representative.
