Spain, updated for 2026

Facturar bien primero. Cobrar después.

Spanish autónomos and SLs serving US clients must align Hacienda rules (IVA, clave de operación, retenciones when applicable) with how money actually arrives. Export of services to clients outside the EU often has specific IVA treatment—your gestor confirms the invoice text and reporting.

Review Agencia Tributaria guidance

Financial information, not tax advice

Rules can change and each situation is different. Confirm IVA, IRPF, and Modelo 347/349 obligations with a Spanish gestor before scaling US client revenue.

Freelancer checklist

Before the first ACH

Confirm payment terms in writing

Put the amount, currency, due date, scope, and who absorbs payment costs in writing.

Prepare the export invoice

Use SwiftFi Invoices or your gestor-approved software so each US payment matches a numbered invoice and tax treatment.

Match payment details exactly

Use the beneficiary name, routing number, account number, and reference shown in SwiftFi.

Keep an audit trail

Save the contract, invoice, payment confirmation, and account statements together.

What invoice do Spanish autónomos issue to US clients?+
