Why to increase the share capital of a corporation?



Many enterprises are established with the required minimum capital (3000 Euros in the case of a limited company and 60,000 in an S.A company) and with the passage of time this is becoming smaller capital in the balance sheet of a large company. Companies with profits accumulate reserves, ignoring the capital; until one day someone puts their eyes in and decides it's time to accompany the growth of the company.

Recover the VAT paid outside of Spain

 
 
We must first make a distinction with regard to purchases that are made outside our borders. If these are done to a country of the European Union and imply that consumption of the good or service is made ​​within our borders, we must fill up our registration as intra-Community VAT operators. By filling up the registration with the tax authorities we will get an European VAT number which will be used as a common reference in dealings with the customs authorities throughout the Community. If we have the European VAT registration number purchases from other country of the European Union shall bear no VAT on your bill, while if we do not have it the seller will apply the VAT tax of its country and this cannot be deducted as such and must be accounted as a greater amount of the purchase.
