Intermediation services provided to a company in Spain are subject to VAT at 21%

A professional inquires about the taxation of their intermediation services for a dropshipping company. The DGT determines that, as the recipient is an entity based in Spain, the transaction is subject to VAT.

The question raised

Question posed: Taxation of the intermediation service provided by the inquirer for the purposes of Value Added Tax.

The DGT's ruling

Mediation operations performed on behalf of others are provisions of services. When the recipient is an entrepreneur or professional based in the territory where the tax applies, the provision is understood to be carried out in said territory. Therefore, as the client company is an entity established in Spain, the intermediation service is subject to VAT at the general rate of 21%.
