Tax forms for SMEs and the self-employed

The tax forms for SMEs and the self-employed must be widely known by them, in order to comply with their tax obligations and not be penalised.

Taxes are quarterly (as in the case of VAT) or annual, and are linked to business and professional activity.

In fact, the entrepreneur or self-employed person is obliged to declare even when the amount of the activity is zero. In this specific case, the declarations must be filed as « Negative/No activity/zero result ». This is until the Form 036 for cessation/cancellation of activity is filed.

The legal status of the SMEs that have to declare their income to the Tax Authorities must be:

  • Sociedad Anónima or S.A.
  • Limited Company, or S.L.
  • Sociedad Colectiva or S. C.
  • Sociedad Comunitaria or Sociedad en Comandita: S.B.
  • Cooperative Society: S. Coop.

 

Quarterly declarations for the self-employed and SMEs

Among the tax forms for the self-employed and SMEs, some must be declared on a quarterly basis. These are the following:

Declarations of self-employed workers and SMEs on withholdings.

Form 111 of the Tax Agency is filed if the company or self-employed person:

  • Has employees in their charge.
  • Receives invoices from professionals.

Form 115 is filed for tax withholdings if the company or self-employed person has rented premises for their professional work.

 

Declarations of self-employed and SMEs on results.

A percentage of the difference between expenses and profits (i.e. of the profit margin) is paid. This is an advance payment on account of Personal Income Tax (Impuesto sobre la Renta de las Personas Físicas, or IRPF). In this specific case, Forms 130 and 131 must be completed.

SMEs and micro-companies must pay Corporate Income Tax in instalments. To do so, Form 202 must be filed. The dates for this payment in instalments are as follows:

  • A first period, from 1 to 20 April.
  • A second period, from 1 to 20 October.
  • A third period, from 1 to 20 December.

It should be noted that this tax return is not filed in July, because that is the date of the Corporate Income Tax.

VAT return for the self-employed and SMEs

This is the best known and most controversial of all the quarterly tax returns. It must be filed on two different tax forms:

  • Form 303, which is the quarterly Value Added Tax (VAT) return itself.
  • Form 349, on all intra-Community transactions carried out, i.e. those between different European Union countries. This specific declaration is due to the fact that intra-Community transactions are exempt from VAT.

 

When to file quarterly returns

Quarterly returns must be filed in the following periods:

  • First quarter: from 1 April to 20 April.
  • Second quarter: from 1 July to 20 July.
  • Third quarter: from 1 October to 20 October.
  • Fourth quarter: from 1 January to 31 January.
