HCS Accountants is headed up by Hazel Smith who is an English Chartered Certified Accountant, also fully qualified in Spain as a tax accountant; known in Spain as an asesor fiscal.

Our aim is to explain the Spanish rules and processes to you step by step, guiding you through the procedures to ensure that you fulfil your tax and accounting obligations, giving you peace of mind in this important area.

Business Clients:
For our business clients, it is important to be aware that Spanish tax rules, accounting standards, employment law and the Social Security system differ significantly from those in the UK.

Many English owned businesses in Spain are leaving important elements of the control and management of their businesses to outside sources, which can frequently mean that their tax advisors are filing the company tax and social security returns without giving any further feedback or analysis.

HCS Accountants takes pride in providing our clients with a more traditional accountancy service, giving information and guidance together with the presentation of the company year-end accounts. We will discuss and provide any further business analysis as required by our individual clients.

Personal Clients:
For our personal clients, it is important to know that many individuals living in Spain are required to file an annual income tax return, and indeed there are fiscal benefits in doing so.

This remains true even if a resident has income sources from outside of Spain. The obligation to file an annual tax return will depend on personal circumstances, under the current rules.

HCS Accountants provides a full annual service in this area, including advice on Spanish residency and how to deal with the transition of tax residency from the UK.
