At Durán-Sindreu we specialise in providing comprehensive tax advice to Public Administrations. We understand the complexity of the public sector and the need for accurate, efficient tax management, especially when it comes to VAT.

Public Sector VAT experts

We have a department specialised in public-sector taxation, with in-depth knowledge of all the tax aspects affecting Public Administrations and public-sector entities, and a strong focus on indirect taxation (VAT), given its complexity and specific casuistry in this field.

We offer ongoing advice on the interpretation and application of the tax rules applicable to the public sector, as well as tax reviews to assess compliance with tax obligations. We also provide upfront legal support before public administrations and public-sector entities sign agreements that may have tax implications. We provide legal support for filing tax returns and complying with formal obligations (such as the SII or e-invoicing). Our team also carries out strategic analysis aimed at tax optimisation, based on legislative, doctrinal and case-law developments.

Legal defence and international transactions

We also provide full representation and assistance in audit and inspection procedures before the Tax Authorities, as well as legal defence before national courts and the Court of Justice of the European Union, in response to the growing volume of litigation affecting the sector.

In addition, we have extensive experience in international transactions, given the increasing involvement of public-sector entities in this area, as well as in excise duties, especially in connection with the public sector’s role in generating renewable energy, which entails specific tax treatment.
