What Taxes Do Companies Pay in Andorra?
In the Principality of Andorra, companies are subject to the following taxes. Among them is corporate tax, the central topic of this article, which we will analyze in detail.
Corporate Tax (IS)
Corporate tax in Andorra has a maximum rate of 10%, significantly lower than the 25% applied in France, for example.
Personal Income Tax (IRPF)
Although personal income tax (IRPF) directly affects individuals rather than companies, it is relevant for business owners. In Andorra, residents earning less than €24,000 per year are not subject to IRPF. For business owners, this tax applies to personal income generated from their professional activity. It is important to point out that IRPF does not apply to the company itself but to the owner as an individual.
Tax on the Location of Commercial, Professional, and Liberal Activities
This tax applies to shop owners and those practicing a liberal profession. It is calculated based on the size of the premises where the activity takes place, adjusted according to the parrish.
