Spanish law requires disclosure of financial accounts for
non-profit organizations, regardless of size. The tax office requires
annual reports, but those are covered by the same privacy regulations
applying to individual tax returns and are therefore not available to the
general public. Value Added Tax reports must be submitted every three
months.
Hi María
I see you are filing VAT tax settlements in Spain. We at first did so this
meant paying a professional to do the paperwork and had a significant cost.
From what I see in your bylaws I think you have the
right to request the
exemption as we did. In case it can be of help, I attach links
to
application requesting the exemption [1] (in Catalan, sorry), Certificate
of Secretary [2] (also in Catalan), and the document from Spanish Tax
Agency acknowledging Amical Viquipèdia as a social institution and granting
us exemption from VAT in Spain. [3] (in Spanish)
