You are not based in Alicante city. How do you manage that?

Most tax and accounting work is filed through the online platforms, so distance makes no difference: we act with your authorisation or as your representatives and receive the notifications. When a procedure does require someone to attend in person, we tell you in advance where to go and what to bring.

I am about to register as an autonomo in Alicante. Where do I start?

You need a NIE, registration with the tax office (form 036 or 037) and registration with the RETA self-employed scheme at Social Security, in that order. Before that it is worth checking which activity code and VAT regime apply to you, because they shape your quarterly returns for the whole year.

When am I considered a tax resident in Spain?

As a general rule, when you spend more than 183 days of the calendar year in Spain, or when the main centre of your economic interests is located here. Becoming a tax resident changes your obligations completely: you move from the Modelo 210 to declaring your worldwide income in the IRPF return.

English-speaking gestoria and tax advisor in Alicante

Asistenio provides tax, accounting and property advice to individuals, autonomos and companies in Alicante city and its metropolitan area. We work from our office in Benidorm, around 45 km away, and handle most of the work online and through representation before the provincial authorities. We advise in English, Spanish and Russian.

In Alicante the typical client is a settled resident — an autonomo, a company or a family — rather than a second-home owner.

What makes Alicante different

Alicante is the provincial capital and hosts the offices that decide files from across the Costa Blanca: the Immigration Office, the regional branch of the Agencia Tributaria and the commercial and land registries. In practice this means that many files belonging to clients in Benidorm, Calpe or Villajoyosa end up being resolved in Alicante, even when the property or the business is somewhere else.

The client profile is different too. Compared with the tourist coast, settled residents dominate here: foreign nationals who make Spain their tax residence, autonomos invoicing Spanish clients and companies with genuine trading activity. That shifts the work away from the Modelo 210 and towards resident IRPF returns, quarterly VAT, payroll and annual accounts — and makes the question of tax residence, the 183-day rule, come up far more often.

For nearly all of the above a digital certificate stops being a convenience and becomes essential: notifications from the Agencia Tributaria and Social Security arrive electronically and carry short deadlines. If you do not have one, we obtain it for you; if yours has expired, we warn you before you lose access.
