Spain launches pre-completed VAT returns

  • Apr 17, 2020 | Richard Asquith

Following on from the success of its SII live invoice reporting platform launch, Spain has begun issuing pre-filled Value Added Tax returns.

The returns, modelo 303, are prepopulated with invoice transactions already reported through the SII platform. The scope of transactions includes:

  • Spanish resident VAT registered businesses only
  • B2B transactions between private businesses.
  • Domestic B2C transactions are also be included.  From 1 September 2018, the requirement will also apply to sales of goods for personal use above €155 gross, to be carried out of the EU Customs territory.
  • Invoices for a domestic supply of taxable goods or services are included.
  • Intercompany transactions are encompassed.
  • Precomplexed returns will still need to be reviewed, and missing transactions added. These will include exports and nil-rated EU intra-community supplies of goods or services are excluded. 

Need a fiscal representative in Spain?

Non-EU businesses selling in Spain will need to appoint a fiscal representative alongside completing VAT registration and returns.
Fiscal representatives are responsible for the accurate VAT submissions of their non-EU clients.
Avalara offers a Fiscal Representative Service as part of its international VAT and GST Registration and Returns Service.
