Taxes in Spain
I’m going to assume that you are working in Spain as an employee of a company that has its registered office in Spain. This means that the company is taxable in Spain.
The tax that is applicable to your salary is called “Contribución General del Impuesto sobre la Renta” (CGIR) and is a flat rate of 20%. The only exception to this rule is if you’re earning less than 9.10€ per hour, in which case the tax is at 15%.
The company can deduct the taxes from your salary before they pay you. This means that your salary will be lower than it would be if the company paid the tax itself.
