“El Paro” is the name for unemployment benefits/support in Spain.

Paro is available to autónomos.

In the case of temporary or definitive unemployment there is support available to autónomos who have been covered continuously for at least the previous 12 months and who are current on their current contributions to the social security system.

There are a number of special circumstances that qualify an autónomo for paro. This includes loss of revenue over the previous year that makes the business untenable, force majeure, loss of access to a licence to exercise that activity (not due to criminal activity), gender violence that led to a cessation of activity, divorce or separation where the couple had been working together, and some other conditions for other contracted workers.

What is IVA?

IVA stands for Impuesto sobre el Valor Añadido. It is the Value Added Tax (VAT) in Spain.

The standard rate of IVA is 21% and is added to the cost of all goods and services in Spain. There are exemptions and reductions for particular items and circumstances.

For business expenses, you can claim back the IVA when the invoice includes your NIE/NIF. A quarterly IVA declaration is submitted to AEAT via the Modelo 303.

If you have any questions about IVA and your business you can give us a message or call or there is further information here:

What do I need to put on my invoice?

Your invoice needs to contain your business details including your address and NIE/NIF if autónomo or CIF if you are a company, a unique invoice number, your customer’s details, the product or service and the taxes.

The taxes may be different depending on the goods or services (with or without VAT depending on what the item is and where your customer is) and how long you have been autónomo (IRPF % in the first two years).

We can help you with this. Or if you want to do it yourself, the Agencia Tributaria provide this guidance:

What can be claimed as a business expense in Spain?

All business expenses can be claimed and deducted against your gross yearly income. You must be able to clearly demonstrate how they are a business expense in the event of an audit.

*Note that restaurants are not a deductible expense.*

If you get an official tax receipt for a purchase that includes your NIE/CIF in the address title, you will also be able to deduct the VAT/IVA.
