- In Spain, timely and accurate VAT compliance is crucial for businesses. Penalties apply for late VAT filing or payment, with a surcharge of 1% for payments up to one month late, increasing by 1% for each additional month, up to 12 months. Delays over 12 months incur a 15% penalty plus interest. Payments from foreign accounts face higher penalties of 5%, 10%, or 20%. Late VAT registration typically doesn’t incur separate fines, but penalties may arise during subsequent filings. Paying fines on time can reduce them by 25%. It’s important to meet deadlines to avoid penalties and interest.
