Tax and corporate advice

This is the firm’s underlying work: making sure the accounts add up, that filings are made on time, and that corporate decisions are taken in full knowledge of what they cost. We work with companies and business owners at every stage of their activity.

Frequently asked

What we get asked most

Should I operate as a sole trader or set up a company?

It depends on your expected profit, how much you need to draw to live on, the risk of the activity and whether you will have partners. A company adds formal obligations and fixed costs that only pay off above a certain volume. We work it out with your figures first.

What happens if I file a return late?

Filing late has consequences, and they differ depending on whether you do it voluntarily before the tax authorities contact you or after receiving a formal request. The difference between the two is considerable, so it is worth acting quickly.

I have received a request from the tax office. Is it serious?

Not necessarily. Many requests are simply for information, or arise from discrepancies between data reported by third parties and your own. What matters is replying on time with the right documentation: a hasty answer causes more trouble than the original request.

Can I pay myself from my own company however I like?

No. Remuneration of a shareholder who also works in the company follows its own rules and must be consistent with the articles of association and the role actually performed. It is one of the points most often reviewed during tax audits.

What documents do you need to get started?

For an initial assessment, the latest annual accounts, the previous year’s returns and a description of the activity are enough. If anything is missing, we will tell you how to obtain it.

Do you only work with companies based in Elche?

No. The office is in Elche and many clients are from the province, but much of the work is handled by video call and email, so location is not a constraint.
