Frequently asked questions

Common questions
about subsidiaries in Spain

How does a foreign company open a subsidiary in Spain?
It requires obtaining the NIE for the directors, incorporating the company before a notary and obtaining the Spanish tax number (NIF) from the Tax Agency.
What is the difference between a subsidiary and a branch?
A subsidiary is an independent company with its own legal personality; a branch is an extension of the parent company without independent legal personality, so the foreign company remains liable.
What tax and accounting obligations will the subsidiary have in Spain?
The same as any Spanish company: corporate income tax, VAT, withholdings and the filing of annual accounts with the Commercial Registry.
Can you help with hiring staff in Spain?
Yes, we handle employment contracts under Spanish law, Social Security registration and monthly payroll management.
How long does it take to incorporate the subsidiary in Spain?
The full process, including prior formalities for foreign documents (apostille), usually takes between 4 and 8 weeks.
