Globalisation and international trade have opened countless opportunities for companies in Spain. However, they have also brought with them a series of legal obligations that cannot be overlooked. One such obligation is the submission of INTRASTAT declarations — a mandatory procedure for all companies that carry out commercial exchanges within the European Union (EU). At Logistics Express, with over 100 years of experience managing this type of formality, we help our clients fulfil these obligations quickly and efficiently.
What is the INTRASTAT System?
INTRASTAT is the method by which statistical data on the trade in goods between EU member states is collected. Introduced in 1993, the system aims to provide accurate information on intra-Community commercial flows. It is mandatory for companies whose volume of operations exceeds the threshold established by the Tax Agency.
Who is required to submit INTRASTAT?
In Spain, companies that exceed the established thresholds for intra-Community acquisitions or dispatches must submit a monthly INTRASTAT declaration. These thresholds may vary depending on the type of operation and the annual volume of trade. If your company carries out significant exports or imports within the EU, it is very likely that you are required to comply with this regulation.
Furthermore, companies operating in territories with specific tax characteristics, such as Melilla and Ceuta, must pay particular attention to their tax and statistical obligations. At Logistics Express, we not only ensure regulatory compliance but also optimise the process so that your company can concentrate on what truly matters: growing your business.
Why is INTRASTAT Compliance Important?
Complying with INTRASTAT is essential for several reasons:
- Avoiding penalties: non-compliance with this obligation can result in significant fines from the authorities.
- Tax transparency: maintaining a clear record of your commercial transactions improves your relationship with the tax administration.
- Strategic data: the information generated by these declarations can be useful for evaluating your market position and optimising commercial strategies.
- Corporate reputation: proper management of your obligations strengthens your company’s image as a reliable partner in international trade.
