How are freight transportation companies incorporated in Spain?
Here we bring you the step-by-step process of everything to do for the incorporation of Spanish freight transportation companies.
Obtaining Legal Documents and Certifications:
To incorporate a Limited Company (SL), you must first obtain the Certificate of Company Name from the Central Mercantile Registry. Then, the Bylaws are drafted, detailing key aspects such as the share capital. You must open a bank account for the deposit of the share capital and to obtain the Bank Certificate.
Financial Aspects and Limited Liability:
The Share Capital is defined, not only to support the limited liability of the company, but also to guarantee financial sufficiency to cover the initial operations, including the Licenses of Public Transport of Goods. This ensures an efficient and legal incorporation of a Limited Company in Spain, backed by full legal documentation and the necessary licenses to operate.
Coordination with the notary's office:
To incorporate a freight transportation company in Spain with several partners, coordination with the Notary Office is required to sign the articles of incorporation, including documents such as bylaws, negative certification of the name, bank certification of the deposit of the share capital, and identification documents. The deed of incorporation must also be filed with the Mercantile Registry, with a cost of €100.
Tax, Digital and Licensing procedures:
You must register in the Tax on Economic Activities (IAE) with the Tax Agency, detailing the business activity. Digital Certificates are obtained for legal entities and individuals. You must obtain the Necessary Licenses and Authorizations, to obtain the Public Freight Transportation License, evaluated according to financial capacity and minimum fleet requirements.
Additional information to take into account:
- Obtain the Public Freight Transportation License known in spanish as "Licencia de Transporte Público de Mercancías", according to financial capacity and minimum fleet requirements. Also comply with minimum fleet requirements and mandatory documentation such as insurance.
- Appropriate management of social contributions for employees in the transportation sector. Consider wages, bonuses, and benefits. Contributions finance Social Security and other employee benefits.
- Occupational safety is crucial, considering the work environment involved in the transport of goods by road. Train drivers in road safety and provide adequate protective equipment. It is essential to comply with driving and rest hour limits.
- Understand and comply with current transport regulations to ensure the safety and legality of operations. In addition, there are specific aids at the regional or national level for the renewal of fleets with environmentally-friendly vehicles.
- The tax regime could be the general regime, but smaller companies could choose the simplified regime or modules.
What taxes do Freight Transport Companies have to declare?
- Corportate Tax: This tax must be filed annually, recording and calculating income and expenses to determine the taxable base. This is crucial for applying deductions and exemptions for investments in efficient vehicles. It is used Form 200, and the deadline is July 25 of the year following the fiscal year.
- Value Added Tax (VAT): The transport of goods is subject to different VAT rates, which may vary according to the type of transport (national or international), its structure, and its turnover. The Form 303 (quaterly) or Form 390 (annual). The deadline for 303 is April 20, July, October, and January. For the 390, it is January 30. Awareness of applicable VAT exemptions, such as those relating to the transportation of goods outside the European Union, is essential to avoid invoicing errors.

Here's What Our Clients Say About Us
JodyD19/03/2024I'm really happy with the service provided. I appreciate the regular reminders to submit what is needed and the friendly and helpful service. Daniela Gonzalez has gone above and beyond to help me, such as finding ways to get receipts for tap and go payments for transport in London.
Vanessa Jakubowski19/03/2024Please don't trust this company. They have made a big mistake with my taxes and I have lost the right to a flat rate which means I will be charged 3 x as much per month for being autonomo as I should be. Haven't responded at all to my complaint, no apology no justification nothing. Please use a legit Spanish company like Vilar & associates who are not trying to resolve this issue for me. Don't waste your money. *update* I have just found just found out I am in debt of over 3000 euros to the government because of this company's incompetence. I have contacted them with my complain but of course no response. Having just had a baby and on maternity leave until recently, now finding out I owe this and I paid this company to sort these issues for me but they have well and truly dropped me in the ***. will be taking legal action.
Amy Granquist14/03/2024Louis was wonderful. He is very detailed and attentive. He answered all of our questions. We really appreciated the time he spent with us. Thanks Louis!!!!
Nathaly13/03/2024Hoy tuvimos nuestra primera consulta informativa con Tatiana sobre impuestos y nos pareció buenísima. Entendió todas las dudas y respondió con claridad, base y al grano, tal que la llamada rindió y nos dejó muy buena impresión de esta gestoría.
Being Virtual11/03/2024Mala la atención. Pague por una consulta de 1 hora con una abogada del equipo la cual me despachó a los 30 minutos. Me hizo seguimiento los días posteriores para que pague el trámite sin darme ningún tipo de pasos a seguir. No los contraten, no dejen sus trámites importantes en este tipo de personas.
Eq11/03/2024PÉSIMO SERVICIO, TENGAN CUIDADO!!!!!!!!!!!! absténganse de utilizarlo. Poco profesional , los abogados están más interesados en cobrar el servicio más alto así no sea el indicado , ni posible . Ofrecen un 98% de éxito para cerrar la venta y a la hora de la verdad cuando es hora de entregar resultados se desaparecen. MUY POCO PROFESIONALES. Estoy segura que si hacen un poco de research encuentran un lugar mejor, funcionan como un software y no como un bufete de abogados responsables.
Isabella Bernal11/03/2024POR FAVOR No los utilicen! Se van a arrepentir y sus procesos migratorios no saldrán bien. Es un muy mal servicio. En mi caso me ofrecieron un servicio que no era acorde an mis necesidades solo porque el valor era superior . Pedí un reembolso y no han sido capaces de reembolsar el dinero. Tampoco completaron el servicio.
Ivan Rabotyga29/02/2024Very professional guys! Highly recommend! They are not only attentive, helpful, precise, knowledgeable, responsible and responsive, but also care about your expenses and can suggest you several options describing in great detail how you can do things yourself.
Cathy Awatere23/02/2024Excellent service, easy to deal with, clear instructions and friendly staff. Would highly recommend. Very professional and trustworthy
Linda Viksne22/02/2024Absolutely horrible. All they had to do was fill out a simple modelo 030, they took FOREVER and messed up 3 times and now the person is in a worse place than where he started. This is so shameful. AVOID!
