Spanish law allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, making full acquisition by Indian corporations straightforward under EU law. However, Indian directors and shareholders require an NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) to perform legal acts such as signing contracts and serving as statutory directors. The company itself needs a NIF (tax identification number) for all business operations.
Certain strategic sectors—including defense, telecommunications, energy, and critical infrastructure—may require foreign direct investment screening and regulatory approvals. Our team identifies any sector-specific restrictions during initial consultation.
Spain’s standard corporate tax rate stands at 25% on net worldwide profits for resident companies. However, newly created companies may qualify for a reduced rate of 15% for their first two profitable fiscal years. SMEs with turnover under EUR 10 million benefit from transitional lower rates starting at 24% in 2025.
The India-Spain Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement provides significant benefits:
Spain has implemented OECD Pillar Two requirements through Law 7/2024, meaning large Indian groups with turnover exceeding EUR 750 million must achieve effective minimum taxes of 15% per jurisdiction.
Regional incentives exist in special zones such as the Canary Islands ZEC, offering rates as low as 4% under specific regulatory regimes.
Standard Sociedad Limitada formation takes approximately 7-15 business days when documentation is properly prepared. Using Spain’s electronic registration systems (CIRCE), the process may complete in 5-7 days for straightforward cases.
However, complete operational setup—including bank account opening, obtaining director NIEs, and establishing local operations—typically requires 3-6 weeks. POMEROL’s expedited process for Indian clients streamlines bureaucratic requirements through our established relationships with Spanish authorities and banks.
Ongoing compliance support continues after formation, ensuring your Spanish subsidiary meets all filing deadlines and governance requirements.
