📋 Direct Answer

Spanish VAT (NIF-IVA) is required if: (1) you store goods in Spain, (2) your EU-wide B2C sales exceed €10,000 and Spain is a significant market, or (3) you sell B2B to Spanish businesses. Spain requires quarterly VAT returns (Modelo 303) and annual summary (Modelo 390). Cost: €300-500. Timeline: 3-6 weeks.
