Take it into your Fider accountHow to use it
- Enter the taxable base, the price of your work before taxes.
- Enter the VAT that applies: 21% standard, 10% or 4% reduced, 0% if exempt.
- Enter the withholding if you invoice a company or another freelancer. Zero for individuals.
- The total is what the client must pay you. The withholding is paid by the client to the tax office on your behalf.
The invoice formula
Total = base + VAT - withholding. VAT is computed on the base, and so is the withholding. A common mistake is computing the withholding on the VAT-inclusive total.
What happens to the withholding
You do not lose it. Your client pays it to the tax office in your name with modelo 111 and you deduct it in modelo 130 and on the annual return. It is an advance on your IRPF.
Invoices in Fider
In the app the invoice computes VAT and withholding on its own, is marked as paid when the money lands, and feeds the quarter's 303 and 130 drafts.
Calculation for the general case. Exempt activities, the equivalence surcharge and cross-border operations have their own rules.
Frequently asked questions
When do I apply withholding?
When you invoice professional activities to companies or other freelancers. Business activities (empresarial headings) carry no withholding.
Which withholding rate?
15% as standard. 7% during the year you start and the two following if you choose it. Some activities have their own rates.
What if my client is outside Spain?
No withholding. VAT depends on the country and the type of client; intra-community B2B operations usually go without VAT.
Is the VAT mine?
No. You collect it and pay it through modelo 303, deducting the VAT on your expenses.
Can I invoice without VAT?
Only for exempt activities (healthcare, education, certain insurance) or when the operation is not subject. If in doubt, ask your advisor.
