It helps prevent the same income from being taxed twice and sets clear rules for how cross-border income is treated.\n\nFor example, dividends paid between the two countries may be taxed at a reduced rate, and in some cases, they may even be exempt if certain conditions are met. The treaty also allows tax paid in one country to be credited against tax in the other, which can reduce the overall tax burden.\n\nHowever, the treaty does not fix a structure that no longer reflects how the business actually operates. If the company and its owner are effectively based in Spain, the overall structure still needs to be reviewed.\n\nFor more details on how these agreements work in practice, see our guide to <a

not about chasing whichever country looks cheaper in a single table.\n\nIt is about matching the structure to the real business model, the owner\u2019s residence, the company\u2019s management and the treaty framework that sits between both countries.\n\n<\/article><article class=\"post-content\"><article class=\"blog-post\"><section><\/section><section><\/section><\/article><\/article>\n<div
