Income tax withholding

Withholding only applies to invoices issued to companies and other professionals. The 7% rate is for newly self-employed people during their registration year and the following two years.

Net amount receivable€1,060.00
Taxable amount€1,000.00
+ VAT (21%)€210.00
− Income tax withholding (15%)− €150.00
Invoice total€1,210.00
Net amount receivable€1,060.00

How it is calculated

A self-employed professional’s invoice starts with the taxable amount. Output VAT (21%, 10%, 4% or 0%) is added and, where relevant, personal income tax withholding is subtracted. The invoice total is taxable amount + VAT; the amount you receive is taxable amount + VAT − withholding.

Income tax withholding only applies to invoices issued to companies and other professionals: it is an advance tax payment your client sends to the Spanish tax authority on your behalf. Consumer invoices do not carry withholding. The standard rate is 15%; newly self-employed professionals may use 7% in the registration year and the following two years.

Withholding is not an expense: it is an advance payment credited in your annual income tax return. Output VAT is not your income either; you settle it with the tax authority through Form 303.
