During the Fiscal Year 2023, Welex, lawyers and accountants in Spain, has the pleasure to write a few lines concerning the “Fiscal Calendar in Spain”. We will indicate the filing dates of the most relevant tax forms.
This is a guide to the tax calendar in Spain for the year 2023.
As an entrepreneur in Spain, you must comply with your tax obligations and keep up to date, it is advisable to remember that it is not advisable to run out of deadlines in order to avoid uncomfortable last-minute surprises.
If you are thinking of starting your business as a Company or Self-Employed in Spain, we remind you to keep in mind the quarters during the year and models associated with some of the taxes that we are going to present to you.
We will start with the month of January, during this month the taxes to be filed correspond to the fourth quarter of the previous month.
(i.e.: in this case, the fourth quarter of the year 2022).
Until the 20th of January you will be able to file several forms that correspond to the withholdings that the majority of small and medium sized companies and self-employed in Spain file quarterly and large companies monthly, during this quarter of the year we have:
– To declare and pay the income tax withholdings that the self-employed and companies have made during a quarter to workers, professionals or business people. If you have a company or you are a self-employed individual in Spain and also if you have one or more of the following
situations: You have workers with a payroll, even if the IRPF is zero. You have invoices from professionals received as expenses with IRPF withholding (Mod:111).
