FAQ
Do I need to register as an Autónomo if my income is low?
Yes. In 2026, Spanish law is strict: if your activity is "habitual" (even 1 hour a week), you must register. Unlike some countries, there is no minimum income threshold in Spain before registration is required. I help you access the "Tarifa Plana" to keep your initial social security costs as low as
Can I get a Spanish Digital Certificate if I am currently outside of Spain?
It depends on your residency status. If you have a NIE, I can guide you through the FNMT (National Mint) remote video identification process or the Consular route. Having this certificate is the only way to sign tax documents and avoid flying to Spain just for an appointment.
What is the "Beckham Law," and do I qualify for the 24% flat tax?
The Beckham Law (Modelo 149) allows expats to pay a flat 24% tax instead of the progressive rates that go up to 47%. You must apply within 6 months of starting your social security registration. I provide a "Beckham Law Eligibility Audit" to ensure you don't miss this massive savings window.
How do I avoid the $25,000 IRS penalty for my US LLC?
If you are a non-US resident owning a US LLC, you must file Form 5472. Missing this deadline in 2026 triggers an automatic, non-negotiable $25,000 penalty. I specialize in "Protective Filings" and catch-up returns to ensure your entity remains in good standing without these crushing fines.

Spain has introduced the VeriFactu system, requiring all freelancers to use certified invoicing software that sends data to the Hacienda in real-time. Using Word or Excel for invoices can now lead to fines of up to €50,000. Part of my service is ensuring your setup is 100% VeriFactu-compliant from
