Taxation in Spain

Spain, Officially the Kingdom of Spain, is the largest country in Southern Europe. Spain is the world's thirteenth largest economy, and a member of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and the World Trade Organization.

Tax Administration of Spain

For employees that have income from two sources, the minimum income threshold is EUR 14,000.

Penalties for underpayments range from 50% to 150% of the unpaid tax liability. For late payment, interest and surcharges (from 5% to 20%) are imposed if the tax payment is done voluntarily without any investigation.

Resident individuals must declare any assets held abroad annually. Filing joint tax returns for married couples is allowed.
