becoming self-employed in Spain
How easy is it to become self-employed in Spain? I have an existing business with a virtual and international clientele and want to move to the sun.

Not so easy as the UK
Seguridad Social:Trabajadores
I would suggest you find a good gestoria to help you register. You could also be a one person company and still be classed as an "autónomo".
What your work will determine what you can claim as expenses for tax purposes. You will have to be I.V.A (VAT) registered.

Re: becoming self-employed in Spain
I am self-employed and live in Spain working from home via the internet. I used a gestor to set it up for me and still send him all my invoices and receipts to do my quarterly and annual tax returns. He charges me EUR30.00 per month but worth every penny. He set up my social security payments and everything. Apart from having a couple of meetings with him and signing some forms, he did everything. I wouldn't have attempted to try to do it myself.
