The problem

Businesses operating in Valencia face a tax environment with specific features that generic advisors often lack the expertise to manage effectively. The Valencian Community has its own rates and deductions on state-delegated taxes — inheritance and gift tax, wealth tax, and the regional IRPF tranche — which differ significantly from other Spanish regions. Valencia's business fabric, with its strong orientation towards exports in ceramics, footwear, automotive components (the Ford Almussafes plant and its supplier chain), agri-food, and tourism, generates specific tax requirements in areas such as intra-Community VAT, cross-border transaction taxation, and corporate tax optimisation for export-active SMEs. Many Valencian businesses discover too late that their generalist accounting firm lacks the specialised knowledge to identify and apply the tax incentives to which they are legally entitled.

Our solution

BMC provides specialist tax advisory services in Valencia for businesses of all sizes, with particular expertise in the export-oriented Valencian business ecosystem and the tax specifics of the Comunitat Valenciana. We assign a dedicated tax advisor who understands your business and works proactively to reduce your legal tax burden: planning each financial year to minimise corporate tax, identifying applicable deductions (R&D, internationalisation, employment creation), and managing all periodic compliance obligations with the efficiency that the Valencian business environment demands.

Process

How we do it

1

Initial tax diagnostic

We review your last corporate tax return, quarterly VAT filings, informational returns, and any delegated regional taxes. We identify inefficiencies, risks, and tax-saving opportunities specific to your business in Valencia, and deliver a written report with our findings within 48 hours.

2

Annual corporate tax planning

We design a tax strategy tailored to your Valencian business: optimal VAT regime, accelerated depreciation on qualifying assets, R&D and innovation deductions, the capitalisation reserve and equalisation reserve for SMEs, internationalisation deductions for export-active companies, and planning of the director-shareholder remuneration structure for optimal tax efficiency.

3

Proactive periodic compliance management

We manage all periodic filings on time: quarterly VAT (modelo 303), payroll withholdings (modelo 111), property rental withholdings (modelo 115), Corporate Income Tax (modelo 200), instalment payments (modelo 202), and annual information returns (390, 190, 347, 349 for intra-Community operations). We notify you of each upcoming deadline with the estimated liability and any recommended actions before the period closes.

4

AEAT and regional tax authority representation

If the Valencia AEAT Delegation, the Valencian Tax Agency, or the Conselleria de Hisenda opens a review or inspection of your business, we appear as your authorised representative, prepare the required documentation, and defend your position through every stage of the proceedings.

We run a ceramic tile export business in the Valencia region with clients across Europe and the Middle East. Our previous firm was missing the internationalisation deduction every year and misapplying intra-Community VAT rules. BMC corrected both issues in the first year and identified additional deductions we had never been told about. The combined saving exceeded €18,000.

Tax advisory in Valencia: deep expertise in Spain’s export heartland

Valencia is Spain’s third-largest city and the capital of one of the country’s most export-oriented regional economies. The province’s business landscape spans ceramics manufacturing in Castellón, footwear and textiles in Alicante, the automotive supply chain around Ford’s Almussafes plant, a major agri-food sector, and a fast-growing tech and startup presence centred on Valencia city itself. Each of these sectors has distinct tax characteristics that demand advisors with genuine sector knowledge.

BMC advises businesses across this spectrum, with particular expertise in the tax management of international operations, intra-Community VAT, corporate tax optimisation for export-active SMEs, and the specific features of Valencian regional tax law.

The Port of Valencia and international trade tax

The Port of Valencia is the largest port in the western Mediterranean and one of Spain’s principal international trade hubs. Businesses importing or exporting through Valencia face specific tax obligations: deferred import VAT (available to large-volume importers), customs classification for correct tariff rate application, VAT treatment of customs warehouse operations, and the declaration of intra-Community operations. BMC advises importers and exporters on the tax treatment of these operations and their correct reflection in periodic returns.

Family businesses and succession planning in the Valencian Community

Many of Valencia’s most important businesses — particularly in the ceramics, footwear, and agri-food sectors — are family-owned companies with succession planning needs. The Valencian Community has specific rules on the tax-efficient transfer of family businesses, including exemptions and reductions in Inheritance and Gift Tax for transfers of qualifying business assets. BMC advises on the structuring of family business succession in the Valencian Community to minimise the tax cost of transferring control to the next generation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The Comunitat Valenciana has legislative powers over state-delegated taxes: the regional IRPF tranche (with Valencia-specific deductions for families, disability, and rent), Inheritance and Gift Tax (with Valencian rates and exemptions that differ from those in Madrid or Andalucía), Wealth Tax, and Transfer Tax (ITP/AJD). For businesses, the key Valencian-specific elements are primarily in personal taxes affecting owner-managers and family business succession. Corporate Income Tax is a national tax, but BMC identifies all available deductions and credits, including those specific to the Valencian export economy.
Valencia businesses exporting goods or providing services to EU business customers (B2B) must apply the zero-rated intra-Community VAT regime and file the quarterly recapitulative statement (modelo 349). Goods exports to EU business buyers require the buyer's VAT number, and the transaction must be reported in the Intrastat system above certain volume thresholds. For digital service exports to EU consumers (B2C), the One Stop Shop (OSS) registration in Spain allows VAT compliance for all EU countries through a single quarterly return. BMC manages all of these international VAT obligations.
SMEs with annual turnover below €10 million pay corporate income tax at the reduced rate of 23% (versus the standard 25%). Micro-enterprises (turnover below €1 million) pay 23% on the first €50,000 of taxable income and 25% on the remainder. Newly incorporated companies pay 15% in the first profitable year and the following year. In all cases, these rates are before the application of applicable deductions and credits, which can further reduce the effective tax rate. BMC identifies the correct rate and all available deductions for each client.
Yes, provided the business carries out qualifying research, development or innovation activities. The deduction rates under Spanish corporate tax law are 25% on R&D expenditure (42% on the portion exceeding the average of the previous two years), 17% on qualifying R&D personnel costs, and 12% on technological innovation (IT) expenditure. Valencia businesses in the ceramics, automotive components, agri-food technology and software sectors frequently carry out activities that qualify. BMC conducts a detailed eligibility analysis and manages the documentation required to support the deduction in the event of an AEAT review.
