Double-tax treaties we work with regularly

We apply the double-tax treaties signed by Spain with, among others, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and the United States. For countries without an applicable treaty, we coordinate with local advisors to prevent double taxation.

To assess the matter we would welcome:

• A breakdown of assets and income by country.
