Invoice in dollars; the app applies the ECB rate for the invoice date (or the previous business day) and computes the EUR base used in Modelo 130 and 303. No manual conversions.

Your obligations in Spain
What applies to you as an autónomo in Spain and who covers it.
Autónomo Simple covers the Spanish side of being an autónomo. For your obligations outside Spain you want an adviser who knows both systems.
Autónomo Simple covers itGuideWith your adviser
- With your adviser
Your tax residence
You are a Spanish tax resident if you spend more than 183 days in the calendar year in Spain or your main base of economic activities or interests is here (art. 9 LIRPF). Residents are taxed on all their income, wherever it arises (art. 2 LIRPF).
- Guide
Register as an autónomo
Census registration (Modelo 036) and Social Security (RETA). As a non-EU citizen you also need the immigration status that lets you work for yourself: confirm it with your immigration adviser. Our guide explains the registration; you do the paperwork with the authorities.
- Autónomo Simple covers it
Invoice clients outside the EU with IVA 0
In general, services to businesses established outside the EU are not subject to Spanish VAT. Always keep proof that your client is a business.
- Autónomo Simple covers it
Every quarter: Modelo 130 and 303
The 20 % income-tax instalment and the VAT return: 1–20 April, July and October, and 1–30 January. Modelo 349 only if you also have EU operations.

Every year: Modelo 390 and the Renta (Modelo 100)
The annual VAT summary in January and the income tax return in the spring campaign (April to 30 June).
General information, reviewed on 24 Oct 2026, based on Spanish law. It is not tax or legal advice, and figures and dates can change each year: confirm them for your case with an adviser. Autónomo Simple does not file your forms for you: you file them on the AEAT portal.
Everything included
The Spanish side, built for US-source income.
American clients, dollar payments, Spanish obligations. The app ties it together, no spreadsheets.
IVA 0 without thinking
Services to US businesses are not subject to Spanish VAT. The app applies the right treatment and reports it in box 120 of Modelo 303 (or box 60 if your accountant prefers: it's a setting).
Guided Modelo 130
Year-to-date EUR income, expenses, previous payments and withholdings. Every box explained before you open the AEAT portal.
Regional deductions
Community by community: rent, work relocation, children, health and more depending on the region, calculated from your profile for the Renta.
Allowances and family deductions
Personal and family allowance, dependants, large family and single parent in the annual IRPF simulator.
PDF invoices for your US client
In USD or EUR, with exchange rate, IVA 0 and your payment details. Ready to send.

How it works
A cleaner quarterly rhythm.
Three steps. From there, every Spanish form is computed with its figures and its deadline.
- 01
Set up your profile
US clients → IVA 0. EU business clients → Modelo 349. Three questions and the app turns on the forms that apply to you.
- 02
Invoice in USD
Dollar amount and the ECB rate. The app converts to EUR for 130 and 303. Expenses go in EUR.
- 03
Review and simulate
Live Modelo 130 and 303 plus the annual Renta simulated with your deductions. No surprises in June.
Invoicing US clients
A US company pays no Spanish VAT.
The general rule in art. 69.Uno.1.º LIVA places services to businesses in Spain only when the recipient is established here (with the exceptions in art. 70). If your client is a US company, the service is not treated as supplied in Spain: it is not subject to Spanish VAT. Output VAT is 0, but the input VAT on your expenses is still deductible in Modelo 303.
Automatic treatment
Mark the client as US-based and the app applies 'not subject' and reports it in box 120 of the 303 (or box 60 if your accountant prefers).
Input VAT still recovered
Even though you charge no VAT, the VAT on your purchases is deducted in Modelo 303.
Business clients only
The rule is for business clients. If your client is an individual, some services (consulting, engineering, advertising: art. 69.Dos LIVA) are also outside Spanish VAT, but others are taxed: check case by case and always keep proof that your client is a business.

Scope
Clear from the start: what it covers and what it doesn't.
What the app does
- Computes and guides the Spanish forms: 130, 303, 349 (if you have EU clients), 390 and 100.
- Converts USD to EUR at the ECB rate and uses it in every calculation.
- Treats services to US companies as not subject to VAT (IVA 0) and deducts the VAT on your expenses.
- Keeps invoices, expenses and receipts, and reminds you of every deadline.
What it doesn't cover
- Residents of the Basque Country or Navarre: their income tax is governed by their Foral Treasury, with its own forms. The app does not compute Modelo 130 or estimate IRPF for that regime, and Modelo 303 is computed with the common-regime rules (confirm it with your adviser).
- Visas, NIE and work permits: those are immigration procedures.
- Filing for you: you file on the AEAT portal with the boxes already computed.

Common questions
What every American in Spain asks.
Do I still pay taxes in Spain if all my clients are in the US?
Usually yes, if you are tax resident in Spain. Foreign clients do not remove your obligations: you still file Modelo 130 and 303 every quarter and the Renta every year.
Am I a Spanish tax resident?
You are if you spend more than 183 days of the calendar year in Spain or your main base of economic activities or interests is in Spain (art. 9 LIRPF). Residents are taxed on all their income, wherever it arises (art. 2 LIRPF). If in doubt, confirm it with your adviser.
Do I need Modelo 349 for US clients?
No. Modelo 349 only reports intra-EU transactions with EU businesses. Services to American companies are not included. The app turns on 349 only if you indicate EU operations.
What VAT do invoices to US clients carry?
If your client is a business or professional established outside Spain, the service is not treated as supplied in Spanish territory (art. 69.Uno.1.º LIVA, with the exceptions in art. 70) and is not subject to Spanish VAT: you apply IVA 0 and say so on the invoice. You still deduct the input VAT on your expenses in Modelo 303.
What if my American client is an individual, not a business?
The rule changes. Some services supplied to an individual established outside the EU are also not located in Spain (for example consulting, engineering or advertising, art. 69.Dos LIVA), but others are taxed in Spain. Check it case by case with your adviser.
Can I invoice in USD and have the calculations in EUR?
Yes. On a USD invoice the app uses the ECB reference rate for the invoice date (or the previous business day), computes the EUR base and uses it for 130, 303 and the annual simulator.
I live in the Basque Country or Navarre. Does the app work for me?
Only partly. Your income tax and its instalments are governed by your Foral Treasury, with its own forms, and Autónomo Simple does not compute Modelo 130 or estimate IRPF for that regime. VAT (Modelo 303) is computed with the common-regime rules; check it with your adviser.
Which regional deductions can I claim?
It depends on your autonomous community: home rent, work relocation, children, health and more. The app calculates them from your profile inside the Renta.
How much does it cost?
You get a 14-day free trial, no card needed, to load your data and see your estimates. After that, Basic (€10/month) for invoices, expenses and estimates, or Pro (€18/month, €14.88 + VAT) for the guided forms with every box, the AEAT files and the simulators. Prices include VAT.
Does the app file my forms for me?
No. It computes every box and guides you step by step; you file on the AEAT electronic office yourself.
