International Company VAT (IVA) Verification Policy Print

  • 0

This page explains how VAT (IVA) is handled for international companies and organisations located outside of Spain when purchasing services from JUCRA Digital SL.

Provider: JUCRA Digital SL

Last Updated: 15th May 2026

JUCRA Digital SL is a Spanish registered company and therefore operates under Spanish and applicable European tax regulations.

When supplying services internationally, VAT (IVA) treatment may vary depending on:

  • The customer’s country
  • The customer’s business status
  • The nature of the supplied services
  • Available tax documentation
  • Applicable international tax rules

The purpose of this policy is to explain our international VAT verification process clearly and transparently, not to make assumptions about customers or jurisdictions.


1. Why Verification Is Required

JUCRA Digital is legally required to apply the correct VAT (IVA) treatment to invoices issued to international customers.

In order to determine whether VAT should apply, we may need to verify:

  • The legal existence of the business
  • The business jurisdiction
  • The tax status of the company
  • The customer billing location
  • The intended commercial use of the services

Important: VAT treatment is determined by applicable tax regulations and verification requirements, not by customer preference alone.


2. International Companies & VAT

Many international businesses operate from jurisdictions outside mainland Spain or the European Union.

Examples may include:

  • Cyprus companies
  • UAE / Dubai companies
  • Bahamas companies
  • BVI companies
  • Cayman Islands companies
  • Panama companies
  • Seychelles companies
  • Delaware LLCs
  • International holding companies
  • International digital businesses

These jurisdictions are not automatically treated identically for VAT purposes, and different verification requirements may apply depending on the customer structure and supplied services.


3. Common International Jurisdictions

European Jurisdictions

Some European jurisdictions may require VAT number verification or additional business documentation.

Non-EU Jurisdictions

Non-EU companies may require company registration evidence or proof of commercial activity.

Digital Businesses

Online businesses, holding companies, and international service providers may require enhanced verification depending on the transaction.


4. Documentation Requirements

Depending on the jurisdiction and company type, JUCRA Digital may request:

  • Company registration certificates
  • VAT registration numbers
  • Tax identification numbers
  • Business address verification
  • Proof of commercial activity
  • Director or company ownership information

The documentation required may vary depending on:

  • The jurisdiction involved
  • The service being purchased
  • The tax treatment requested
  • Internal compliance requirements

5. Verification Process

Once documentation is supplied:

  • The information may be reviewed internally
  • The company status may be verified manually or electronically
  • The applicable VAT treatment may then be determined

JUCRA Digital cannot remove IVA (VAT) from invoices unless sufficient information exists to justify the tax treatment under applicable regulations.

In some situations, invoices may initially be generated including IVA until verification has been completed successfully.


6. Private Individuals

Private individuals purchasing services personally are generally treated differently from registered businesses for VAT purposes.

In many situations:

  • VAT (IVA) may still apply
  • Business exemptions may not be available
  • Additional documentation may not be sufficient without business status

7. Important Notes

  • International jurisdictions are not automatically VAT exempt.
  • Different countries may require different verification procedures.
  • VAT treatment depends on applicable tax law and supplied documentation.
  • JUCRA Digital reserves the right to request additional verification where necessary.
  • Customers should seek independent accounting or tax advice where required.
