Key figures — Spain, 2025

Every figure is drawn from this Guide and cited to its source.

Scope of package

Produces the complete Spain filing package for: Full-year Spanish residents (territorio común -- excludes País Vasco and Navarra foral regimes); Autónomos (self-employed individuals, personas físicas); Tax year 2025; Filing Modelo 303 (IVA trimestral), IRPF Modelo 100, RETA reconciliation, Modelo 130 (pagos fraccionados)Section 1 -- Scope

spain-vat-return step (Modelo 303)

Runs first because IVA base imponible feeds into the IRPF. For Q4 2025: prepare Modelo 303 if not yet filed; verify Q1-Q3 figures. Reconcile facturas emitidas (output IVA) with facturas recibidas (input IVA). Handle intracomunitarias (reverse charge, Modelo 349). Output: Modelo 303 box values, IVA devengado, IVA soportado deducible, result (a ingresar / a compensar / a devolver)Section 2 -- Execution order and dependency chain

es-income-tax step (IRPF Modelo 100)

Depends on IVA output: rendimiento íntegro de actividades económicas must use base imponible (ex-IVA) from Modelo 303. Compute rendimiento neto: ingresos - gastos deducibles - amortización - RETA cuotas. Apply gastos de difícil justificación (5%, max EUR 2,000) for simplificada. Apply reducciones (if applicable). Compute base imponible general + base del ahorro. Apply escala estatal + autonómica. Deduct retenciones, pagos fraccionados (Modelo 130). Output: Modelo 100 key boxes, cuota líquida, resultado de la declaraciónSection 2 -- Execution order and dependency chain

es-social-contributions step (RETA)

Depends on IRPF: RETA cuotas are a gasto deducible in the rendimiento neto computation. Reconcile actual cuotas paid vs the new income-based contribution system (since 2023). Verify base de cotización is appropriate for income level. Flag if regularisation is expected (TGSS adjusts RETA based on actual income, with potential refund or additional payment). Output: annual RETA paid, base de cotización, regularisation estimate, deductibility confirmationSection 2 -- Execution order and dependency chain

es-estimated-tax step (Modelo 130)

Depends on IRPF: pagos fraccionados are computed as 20% of rendimiento neto acumulado minus retenciones acumuladas. Status check: es-estimated-tax is currently a Q4 stub. If the stub has substantive computation content, use it. If it is still a placeholder, compute Modelo 130 using the standard formula (Art. 110 LIRPF: 20% x rendimiento neto acumulado - retenciones - pagos fraccionados anteriores) and flag in the reviewer brief that the dedicated skill was not available. Output: Q4 2025 Modelo 130 computation, and 2026 quarterly schedule. If any upstream content skill fails to produce validated output, the assembly skill notes the failure in the reviewer brief and continues with available data rather than halting entirely.Section 2 -- Execution order and dependency chain, Art. 110 LIRPF

If mismatch (cross-check 1)

Flag for reviewer. Common causes: timing differences (devengo vs cobro if using criterio de caja), autoconsumo, corrective invoices (facturas rectificativas).Cross-check 1: Modelo 303 base imponible = IRPF ingresos de actividades económicas

If mismatch (cross-check 2)

Verify months of alta. Part-year alta means prorated cuotas. If regularisation happened in 2025 for prior year, it is deductible in 2025.Cross-check 2: RETA cuotas = gasto deducible in IRPF

Rule (cross-check 3)

Total retenciones deducted in Modelo 100 must equal the sum of all retenciones from all sources. If retenciones exceed cuota íntegra, the result is a devolver (refund).Cross-check 3: Retenciones credit against final IRPF cuota

If mismatch (cross-check 3)

Common cause is retención not actually withheld (client paid gross despite invoice showing retención). Flag for reviewer: income still declared at gross, but retención credit requires actual withholding.Cross-check 3: Retenciones credit against final IRPF cuota

Rule (cross-check 4)

If retenciones on professional invoices cover > 70% of income, Modelo 130 filing is not required (Art. 110.3.c RIRPF). Check this condition.Art. 110.3.c RIRPF

If mismatch (cross-check 4)

Flag for reviewer. If underpaid, no separate penalty (it washes into the annual IRPF), but cash flow impact. If overpaid, credit against IRPF.Cross-check 4: Modelo 130 pagos fraccionados credit against final IRPF

Output files list

The final output is three files: 1. `[client_slug]_2025_spain_master.xlsx` -- Single master workbook containing every worksheet and computation. Sheets include: Cover, Modelo 303 (Q4 or annual reconciliation), IRPF Modelo 100 (rendimiento neto, base imponible, escala, cuota, resultado), Amortisation Schedule, Gastos Detail, RETA Reconciliation, Modelo 130 (Q4 2025 + 2026 schedule), Cross-Check Summary. Use live formulas where possible -- e.g., IRPF ingresos cell references the Modelo 303 base imponible cell; RETA gasto references the RETA sheet total; Modelo 130 references IRPF rendimiento neto. Verify no #REF! errors. Verify computed values match within EUR 1 before shipping. 2. `reviewer_brief.md` -- Single markdown file covering all sections from Section 4 above: executive summary, IVA return, IRPF, RETA, Modelo 130, cross-skill reconciliation, flags, positions, planning notes. 3. `client_action_list.md` -- Single markdown file with step-by-step actions: immediate filings and payments, quarterly calendar for 2026, ongoing compliance reminders. If execution runs out of context mid-build: produce whatever is complete, then state at the end which of the three files were not produced or are partial. All files are placed in `/mnt/user-data/outputs/` and presented to the user via the `present_files` tool at the end.Section 7 -- Output files

The full Guide

Spain Return Assembly Skill v0.1

CRITICAL EXECUTION DIRECTIVE -- READ FIRST

When this skill is invoked, you have already passed through intake. The user has consented to the full workflow. Execute all steps without pausing for permission.

Specifically:

  • Do NOT ask the user "how deep do you want me to go" or "do you want the full package" or any variant. The user asked for their tax returns. They want their tax returns. Produce them.
  • Do NOT announce how many tokens or tool calls this will take. Execute.
  • Do NOT ask which deliverables to prioritise. Produce all deliverables listed in Section 4. If you run out of context mid-execution, finish the computation work first (numbers, positions, flags) then produce whatever formatted outputs you can, and at the very end state clearly which deliverables were not produced and why.
  • Do NOT re-validate scope that intake already validated. If es-freelance-intake produced an intake package, trust it. You can cross-check specific numbers during reconciliation but do not re-interrogate the user about residency, business structure, or anything else intake already captured.
  • Do NOT pause between content skills to check in. Run them in dependency order (Section 2) without prose status updates between each one. A single status message at the end is fine.
  • Self-checks are targets, not blockers. If a self-check fails, note it in the reviewer brief's open flags section and continue. Do NOT halt the entire workflow because one self-check had an ambiguous answer.
  • Primary source citations go in the final reviewer brief, not in intermediate computation steps.

The user has already been told (by the intake skill) that the final package requires asesor fiscal signoff before filing. State it once in the final output and move on.

Failure mode to avoid: The skill halts mid-execution and asks the user a meta-question about workflow pacing. If you feel the urge to ask "how should I proceed," the correct action is to pick the most defensible path and proceed, flagging the decision in the reviewer brief so the reviewer can challenge it.

What this file is

The final capstone skill for Spain self-employed returns. Every Spain content skill feeds into this one. The output is the complete reviewer package that an asesor fiscal can review, sign off on, and deliver to the client along with filing instructions.

This skill coordinates execution of the content skills, verifies cross-skill consistency, and assembles the final deliverable.

Section 7 -- Output files

  • Output files list — The final output is three files: 1. [client_slug]_2025_spain_master.xlsx -- Single master workbook containing every worksheet and computation. Sheets include: Cover, Modelo 303 (Q4 or annual reconciliation), IRPF Modelo 100 (rendimiento neto, base imponible, escala, cuota, resultado), Amortisation Schedule, Gastos Detail, RETA Reconciliation, Modelo 130 (Q4 2025 + 2026 schedule), Cross-Check Summary. Use live formulas where possible -- e.g., IRPF ingresos cell references the Modelo 303 base imponible cell; RETA gasto references the RETA sheet total; Modelo 130 references IRPF rendimiento neto. Verify no #REF! errors. Verify computed values match within EUR 1 before shipping. 2. reviewer_brief.md -- Single markdown file covering all sections from Section 4 above: executive summary, IVA return, IRPF, RETA, Modelo 130, cross-skill reconciliation, flags, positions, planning notes. 3. client_action_list.md -- Single markdown file with step-by-step actions: immediate filings and payments, quarterly calendar for 2026, ongoing compliance reminders. If execution runs out of context mid-build: produce whatever is complete, then state at the end which of the three files were not produced or are partial. All files are placed in /mnt/user-data/outputs/ and presented to the user via the present_files tool at the end. (Section 7 -- Output files)

Section 8 -- Cross-skill references

  • Inputs and outputs — Inputs: es-freelance-intake -- structured intake package (JSON); spain-vat-return -- Modelo 303 box values and classification output; es-income-tax -- IRPF Modelo 100 computation output; es-social-contributions -- RETA reconciliation output; es-estimated-tax -- Modelo 130 computation (or fallback computation). Outputs: The final reviewer package. No downstream skill. (Section 8 -- Cross-skill references)

Section 9 -- Known gaps

  1. PDF form filling is not automated. The reviewer uses the worksheets to fill official AEAT forms on the Sede Electrónica.
  2. E-filing is handled by the reviewer via AEAT Sede Electrónica (with certificado digital or Cl@ve), not by this skill.
  3. Payment execution is the client's responsibility; the skill only provides instructions and amounts.
  4. es-estimated-tax is a Q4 stub. Until it is fleshed out, Modelo 130 is computed using the standard formula (Art. 110 LIRPF). This is a redundancy, not a gap -- the formula is deterministic.
  5. Multi-year amortisation tracking assumes the prior year schedule is provided. If not, only current-year acquisitions are amortised.
  6. Rental income (rendimiento del capital inmobiliario) is out of scope.
  7. Capital gains (ganancias patrimoniales) are out of scope beyond noting them as other income.
  8. Imputación de rentas inmobiliarias (imputed income on empty properties) is out of scope.
  9. Modelo 720 (overseas assets declaration) is out of scope.
  10. The package is complete only for tax year 2025; 2026 appears only as prospective planning.
  11. País Vasco and Navarra foral regimes are out of scope -- territorio común (AEAT) only.
