The practice
Canary taxes are different. That's the point.
The islands run their own economic and fiscal regime: IGIC instead of VAT, incentives the mainland does not have, and a second tax administration with rules of its own. A Fuerteventura business advised as if it were in Madrid overpays — quietly, year after year. This desk exists so that never happens to yours: obligations mapped, calendar owned, every filing prepared and presented on time.
Beyond the filings, the planning: quarter-ends anticipated instead of suffered, legitimate reliefs applied, and a December look-ahead while moves still fit in the year. We represent you before both agencies for queries and requirements — and if a filing ever turns into a fight, the tax lawyers across the corridor take it from there.
The REF
The Canary advantage
Four pieces of the island regime that exist to be used — legitimately, with the paperwork that makes them stick.
Always on time
The advisory year
Spanish tax runs on a fixed calendar. We watch it so you never have to — this is what a typical year looks like.

Your first quarter with us

The calendar
Every deadline mapped and owned. From here on, "did we file that?" stops being your question.
The filings
Prepared, reviewed, presented — and your numbers explained back to you in plain language.
The look ahead
Planning while moves still fit: reliefs, timing, the December review that pays for the year.
Tax Advisory questions
Before you ask
What is IGIC, and does it apply to me?
The Canary Islands' indirect tax — the local cousin of VAT, with lower rates and its own quarterly filings before the Canary agency. If you sell goods or services from the islands, it almost certainly applies to you, and applying it correctly is where we start.
Do I qualify for the ZEC?
It depends on the activity, the jobs you will create and the substance you will keep on the islands. The honest answer takes a meeting, and the best moment for it is before you incorporate — retrofitting is much harder than designing for it.
How does the RIC actually work?
You commit part of your profit to a reserve, invest it in qualifying island assets within the legal window, and your taxable base drops accordingly. The saving is real and so are the formal requirements — it is a discipline, and we run it as one.
I have been filing like a mainland business for years. Can it be fixed?
Going forward, always — and we review what was filed to see what can still be corrected or reclaimed. The sooner the review, the more of the past is still recoverable.
What happens if the tax agency challenges a return?
Then the file crosses the corridor to our Tax Law desk, which defends inspections, assessments and penalties for a living — working from the same ledger we filed from. One office, no gaps in the story.
