Expat Life
DOING BUSINESS IN VALENCIA
Doing business in Spain and Valencia in particular can be a surprising journey of discovery. One company or institution can demand completely different documents from a business partner to those already supplied to another.
An early agreement on the method of completing contracts is as wise as clarification of payment terms. Some perceived options may prove illegal. Proof of fiscal residency is important to prevent any avoidable double taxation issues. Official proof of company registration, identification number and other paperwork can also be requested. So too value added tax compliancy, especially for EU cross border activities.
Many aspects of the journey are highly rewarding. Getting to know each other takes time, progress often flows through intermittent phases. Interaction is polite and mostly straightforward on the path to an ultimate, clearly defined goal.
