A e compa ing he es ima ed mon hly income and expendi u e, we mus apply he

conside a ions depending on hei legal s uc u e and whe he hey a e classi ied as
non-p o i en i ies o as companies wi h comme cial pu poses (as is he case o FI IA).
Taking in o accoun he comme cial na u e o FI IA, we mus i s o all highligh he
Value Added Tax. In Spain, spo s se ices a e axed a 21% VAT (Agencia T ibu a ia,
2024). This pe cen age has been applied since 2012, when i was inc eased om he
p e ious 8% (Ma ín Po ela, L., 2023). I is impo an o no e ha he i ness sec o has

bu I conside i impo an o poin his ou . As Fi IA is PYME company (less han 250
wo ke s and less han 50 million o yea income), i mus decla e and se le VAT on a
qua e ly basis.
Co po a e income ax, which is le ied on he p o i s ob ained by he company, is
applied annually on he accoun ing p o i o he yea . The gene al applicable a e is
25% on p o i s, which may be exemp ed i he ules se ou in A . 7 o he Ley 1/2015

Finally, i should be no ed ha Fi IA is exemp om paying he Impues o de Ac i idaeds

A e applying all hese ibu es, we can conclude ha Fi IA would make he ollowing
