How the Spanish VAT calculator works

Bar chart: adding 21% VAT (IVA) to a €100 net price gives €100 net, €21 VAT, €121 gross
A €100 net price plus 21% VAT (IVA) = €121 gross. The calculator above works this out for any amount.

Spanish VAT rates (IVA)

Mainland Spain applies 21% to most purchases, stepping down to 10% for the experience economy and 4% for the true essentials. The Balearic and Canary Islands run their own equivalents instead — IGIC in the Canaries, IPSI in Ceuta and Melilla.

VAT registration in Spain

Resident businesses register for IVA from their first taxable sale, as Spain sets no general registration threshold for domestic traders. Non-resident sellers shipping goods to Spanish consumers from elsewhere in the EU must register once distance sales pass €35,000 a year, unless they use the One Stop Shop.

Spanish VAT is reported on the quarterly Modelo 303 form (monthly for large companies), with the annual summary on Modelo 390.
