Footwear sales to private individuals in Spain are subject to VAT and the company is a taxable person

A Gibraltar-based company selling footwear online has requested clarification regarding the taxation of its operations in Spain, logistics, and whether it constitutes a permanent establishment. The DGT has determined that sales to private individuals in Spain are subject to VAT and that the company is a taxable person, despite not having a permanent establishment.

The question raised

Question posed: Value Added Tax treatment of the following operations:

The DGT's ruling

Deliveries of footwear to private individuals in Spain are subject to VAT when the transport commences in Spanish territory. The company does not have a permanent establishment because it does not possess a structure with sufficient human and technical resources. By making deliveries subject to VAT, the applicant is a taxable person and must comply with invoicing and reporting obligations. It cannot use the special procedure for the refund of tax, but must use the general procedure.
