Apply for NIF in Spain for foreign companies
A Spanish NIF number is mandatory for any foreign company wishing to conduct business or fiscal operations in Spain. This applies to legal entities such as a Dutch BV or German GmbH, as well as other foreign entities.
When is a NIF mandatory?
A NIF is necessary in the following situations, among others:
- Purchase of real estate in Spain.
- Hiring of personnel in Spain.
- Selling products or services on the Spanish market.
- Participation in tax schemes such as OSS (One Stop Shop).
- Complying with environmental regulations (such as EPR obligations)
Applying for a NIF is done through the Spanish Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria). If your company is already registered in the OSS system, a Spanish NIF may have been granted automatically. Check with the tax authorities of the country where you are located.
