What I take
off your plate.

Most of my clients are foreigners who live, work, own property or invest in Spain. These are the situations I handle every week, all of them remotely.

For freelancers & small businesses

Accounting
you can follow

You live and work here, but other accounting firms never quite explained things in your language. I keep your books and file everything, and you always know why.

  • Bookkeeping for autónomos and companies
  • Quarterly VAT and withholdings
  • Annual income tax return
IVARetencionesRenta
For property owners abroad

Non-resident
tax

You earn income in Spain but live elsewhere. I file your non-resident returns and the taxes that come with buying property.

  • Modelo 210 for rentals and activities in Spain
  • ITP, the transfer tax when you buy
  • Moving from non-resident to resident

For anyone carrying debt

Debt
organisation

When payments pile up, it's hard to see the whole picture. I list what you owe and to whom, and build a payment plan you can actually keep.

  • A clear map of every debt
  • Priorities and deadlines
  • A realistic payment plan

Structuring your
building project

Buying rural land and building as a private individual means paying taxes and costs you can never recover. Instead, we set up a fully legal structure for the project that typically saves 15–20% of the total build value. Then I stay with you until the keys are handed over.

  1. Before
    Set-up

    We study the project and put the right structure in place before you buy or build.

  2. During
    Follow-up

    Bookkeeping, quarterly VAT and withholdings, and a clear view of what you're saving as the project advances.

  3. After
    Completion

    Non-resident taxes and everything that closes the project properly with Hacienda.

Not sure which one is you? Tell me your situation and I'll tell you what applies.

How it works

Three steps,
no surprises.

Everything happens online. You never need to visit an office, wherever in the world you are.

  1. 01

    You tell me your situation

    A short message by WhatsApp or email: a property, a business, a project. A few lines is enough to start.

  2. 02

    We talk it through

    A video or phone call in English where I explain what applies to you, which deadlines matter and what it will cost before any work starts.

  3. 03

    I handle the filings

    You send documents by email or WhatsApp; I prepare and submit everything on time. You get a copy of every return and a heads-up before each deadline.

About

An independent practice,
one point of contact.

Oriol Sureda is a tax and accounting advisory practice based in Barcelona. It serves foreigners who live, work, invest or own property in Spain, entirely online and in English.

Behind it is nearly six years of hands-on work in tax and accounting advisory, and since 2023 an independent practice of my own. You won't be passed between departments: I know your file, I answer your questions, and I check every figure before it reaches Hacienda.
