When you launch a company<\/strong>, work as a freelancer<\/strong>, or build a start\u2011up<\/strong> in Spain, legal concepts can be confusing. Two key ones are the fiscal address<\/strong> and the registered office<\/strong>. Although they sound similar, they serve different purposes and strongly affect your tax position<\/strong> and legal identity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What is a fiscal address?<\/h3>\n

The fiscal address<\/strong> is the official address reported to the Spanish Tax Agency. It is the place where the Administration considers your main activity to take place and where tax notices<\/strong> are sent. It determines oversight and assessment of taxes.<\/p>\n

For sole traders<\/strong>, the fiscal address often coincides with the home address or the place where the business is managed. For companies<\/strong>, it usually matches the head office from which the business is administered.<\/p>\n

What is a registered office?<\/h3>\n

The registered office<\/strong> is the address stated in a company\u2019s bylaws<\/strong> and filed with the Commercial Registry. It is the company\u2019s legal domicile, appearing in the deed of incorporation and on official documents: contracts, invoices, licenses, and more.<\/p>\n

This address has a formal character: it is the company\u2019s \u201clegal home\u201d. It is also where corporate books<\/strong> and records must be kept and where shareholders\u2019 meetings<\/strong> are held.<\/p>\n
