Consultancy in Tenerife for self-employed individuals and companies
Have you been paying an advisor for ages who handles paperwork but doesn’t explain anything, only calls you when there’s a problem, and has never told you if you’re taking advantage of the Canary Islands’ tax benefits? There’s a solution.
Tenerife is not just another province: here, taxation has its own rules
Operating in Tenerife has unique characteristics not found in any other Spanish autonomous community. The IGIC (Canary Islands General Indirect Tax) instead of VAT, the Canary Islands Economic and Fiscal Regime with its own incentives, and an economy dominated by tourism create a fiscal and labor environment that a generalist consultancy may not always be familiar with.
At Asesorae, we have years of experience working with freelancers, SMEs, and companies across the island. We are familiar with Canary Islands regulations, the Canary Islands Government’s forms, and the most common mistakes made by businesses in Tenerife. We work 100% online so you can focus on your business and we’ll take care of the rest.
Our advisory services in Tenerife and Santa Cruz de Tenerife
We cover all the needs of self-employed individuals and companies operating in Tenerife, from tax management to labor and accounting.
Tax advice in Tenerife
Complete tax management: quarterly/annual taxes (IGIC, Personal Income Tax, Corporate Tax), filings with the Tax Agency and the Government of the Canary Islands, tax planning, and audits. Experts in the Canary Islands Special Economic Regime (REF) to optimize your tax advantages.
Employment advice in Tenerife
Contracts, payrolls, social security, employee registrations and terminations, bonuses, and dismissals. If you have employees in Tenerife, whether in the tourism, retail, or service sectors, our labor law specialists are here to help.
Accounting advice in Tenerife
We keep your company’s accounts up-to-date: invoices, bank reconciliations, balance sheets, and annual accounts. Solid accounting not only ensures tax compliance, but also provides the information you need to make better decisions.
If your business relies on tourism, you need an advisor who knows the sector
With over 6 million visitors annually, Tenerife boasts an unparalleled concentration of hospitality, accommodation, and tourism services businesses in the Canary Islands. These businesses have specific tax and labor obligations that a general consultancy may not always fully understand.
At Asesorae, we work with holiday home owners, hoteliers, tourism activity companies, and tourism-oriented retail businesses. We manage the registration and IGIC declarations for holiday rental properties, seasonal employment with fixed-term contracts, tax optimization for businesses with irregular cash flow, and applications for Canary Islands Government subsidies for the sector.
If you feel that your current advisor does not fully understand the seasonality or the specific procedures of the tourism sector in Tenerife, tell us about your case without obligation.
Northern and Southern Tenerife: we manage companies all over the island, without you having to move
The north (Santa Cruz, La Laguna, La Orotava, Puerto de La Cruz…) is home to professional services, public administration, and medium-sized businesses. The south (Adeje, Arona, etc.) is almost entirely tourist territory. The needs of a law firm in Santa Cruz are not the same as those of a holiday apartment in Las Américas, and this difference matters when planning taxes or managing a workforce.
As a 100% online consultancy, we work with clients throughout Tenerife. You don’t have to travel or close your business to manage your consultancy, which is especially valuable for businesses in the south with busy schedules during peak season.
The most frequent mistakes made by self-employed individuals and companies in Tenerife
These are the most common problems we encounter when a client from Tenerife comes to Asesorae for the first time:
- Applying incorrect IGIC rates on invoices or not being registered with the Canary Islands Tax Agency in addition to the State Tax Agency.
- Managing a holiday home without submitting the IGIC form 415 or declaring the income correctly in the IRPF.
- Not taking advantage of the incentives of the Canary Islands REF (RIC, ZEC) which can represent a significant tax saving for companies with profits in Tenerife.
- Managing seasonal contracts in the tourism sector incorrectly, accumulating labor contingencies due to lack of knowledge of the regulations.
- Not preparing for mandatory electronic invoicing: many businesses in Tenerife still don't know which systems they should adopt or when it comes into effect for them.
At Asesorae we proactively notify you of deadlines and regulatory changes that affect you, so you’re never caught off guard.
How much do our consulting services cost in Tenerife and what do they include?
One of the most common complaints from clients who come to Asesorae is that their previous advisor never explained what was included in the service. At Asesorae, before we begin, we tell you exactly what your service covers and how much it costs, with no fine print or unexpected extras.

Everything you should know before hiring a consultancy in Tenerife
What is the difference between a consultancy and a management firm in Tenerife?
A management agency handles paperwork; a consultancy advises, plans, and optimizes your tax, employment, and accounting situation. At Asesorae, we do both.
Do I need advice if I am self-employed in Tenerife?
It’s not mandatory, but in Tenerife it’s highly recommended. The IGIC, the Canary Islands Government’s tax forms, and the REF have specific characteristics that frequently lead to errors when managed without an advisor. In the tourism sector, the tax and labor risks are even greater.
Do you have experience with businesses in the tourism sector?
Yes. We work with holiday home owners, hoteliers, and tourism service companies in Tenerife. We are familiar with the specific models, deadlines, and obligations of the sector at both the national and Canary Islands government levels.
What if I have a business in the south of Tenerife and you are online?
That’s exactly what we’re designed for. You upload the documents from your mobile phone, we communicate via email or video call, and we manage everything. Same service wherever you are on the island, no travel required.
Do you manage holiday rentals in Tenerife?
Yes. We handle the registration, IGIC tax returns (form 415), income tax returns, and compliance with Canary Islands Government regulations. It’s one of the most requested services by our clients in southern Tenerife.
Can you manage the change from my current advisor?
Yes. We’ll coordinate with your previous advisor and make the transition smooth. Most clients who have switched have done so without any disruption to their services.
Do you offer advice for companies arriving in Tenerife from the mainland?
Yes. We advise companies and self-employed individuals relocating from the mainland who need to understand the differences in the Canary Islands’ REF. The switch can result in significant tax savings if managed correctly from the outset.
How long does it take for my consultancy to be operational?
In less than 48 hours from the time you confirm your registration, you will have your customer portal active, your assigned advisor, and all the management underway.
