Tax guide: Selling on Etsy from Spain

Do you sell on Etsy from Spain and aren't sure you are doing it right? Does Etsy charge you VAT on its fees? Have you received your DAC7 copy? This guide explains the taxes of selling on Etsy in plain language, with one example from start to finish.

What it includes

• 📄 10-page PDF guide (A4, reads well on a phone), with a sample sale and all its numbers.
• 📊 Excel calculator (4 tabs): what you keep from each sale, what you have to do, your VAT quarter and the calendar.
• 🇪🇸 Also in Spanish. The PDF and the spreadsheet, in English and in Spanish, in the same download.

What you will find

• When you have to register with the Tax Agency and which VAT scheme applies: the standard scheme or the equivalence surcharge.
• What Etsy charges you: transaction, payment processing, regulatory operating fee, listing and ads, with a sample sale.
• The VAT on Etsy Ireland's fees: registering in the ROI (the Spanish register of intra-EU operators) and the reverse charge, step by step.
• The VAT on your sales depending on where your customer is: Spain, the EU (the €10,000 threshold and the OSS), the UK, the United States and everywhere else.
• Digital downloads: what VAT Etsy charges and what you invoice.
• How to record what Etsy pays out to you, invoices and Verifactu.
• DAC7: what Etsy reports to the Tax Agency every year and what to do with your copy.
• An Etsy seller's calendar and what to do this week, with checkboxes.
