Great, thanks for the info ! By the time I move, get a place to live, get my stuff from Canada (by boat of course so it will take months), it will take at least a year or two before I will be able to reopen my store. Thanks for the info about the threshold amount as well. I'll try looking on Internet to confirm it but so far I haven't found anything. That threshold is for intra-EU sales excluding domestic.  So all of EU but Spain. Otherwise, each EU country has its own thresholds and procedures and statuses. The domestic VAT threshold can go from €0 to €90,800.  AFAICT, Spain’s threshold is €0.  So every professional should get a VAT number in Spain. Searching “EU VAT thresholds” leads to that page: https://www.vatcalc.com/eu/2023-eu-vat-registration-intrastat-thresholds/ Searching “VAT registration Spain” leads to that page: https://administracion.gob.es/pag_Home/en/Tu-espacio-europeo/derechos-obligaciones/empresas/impuestos/IVA/registro-pago.html (Note that many EU countries have governmental pages in multiple languages… except France 🤷‍♂️) But as you’ll have been in Spain for many months before opening, you’ll have time to ask a real local expert Wow amazing!! Thanks a lot. It will be a good start for me. Getting an accountant is also a very good idea. That’s probably what i will do. I’m so unfamiliar with all this since i didn’t need to register here in Quebec as i didn’t reach the threshold. I’m really looking forward to moving. I spent 15 years in Quebec. It was great but now it’s time for something else! I want to get back to my roots, probably spend a bit of time in France while looking for a place to live in Spain. It’sa good thing i still have my French passport. It will make things easier! A few years ago the threshold to register was if you surpassed the annual minimum salary amount, nowadays its 15.876€ Good luck on the move, see you under the same sun! Thanks ! I'm so looking forward to moving to Spain. It will most probably be on La Costa Blanca either Alicante or Valencia. Let me know if you know the area. We could chat via email. I'm in the process of listing everything that must be done first. So many things to think about it's almost overwhelming ! The administrative part will be the most tricky (transferring Canadian and Quebec pension to Spain while closing everything here and finding a place to live in Spain, etc.).
