What catches LLC owners in Spain

The yearly 5472

A single-member LLC owned by a foreign person files Form 5472 with a pro forma 1120 every year, even without activity; the IRS penalty for not filing is $25,000.

Spain looks at it differently

As a Spanish tax resident, the Spanish tax agency may treat the LLC and its income differently from the IRS.

Documents that must work here

Many US documents only take effect in Spain once notarised, apostilled and translated.

How we do it

  1. One calendar

    State, federal and Spanish obligations of your LLC in one view, each with its official link.

  2. Formation or takeover

    New LLCs in Wyoming, Delaware, New Mexico or Florida, or we take on the one you have and check for pending forms.

  3. Documents valid in Spain

    Remote notarisation, apostille and sworn translation handled as one order.

  4. The Spanish side

    Tax treatment of the LLC and its income in your Spanish return.
