Consultancy in Lanzarote for the self-employed, businesses and property owners
In Lanzarote, three distinct tax realities coexist: the self-employed individual who invoices tourists and is unsure when to apply IGIC (Canary Islands General Indirect Tax), the homeowner who rents out their property in Puerto del Carmen or Playa Blanca without knowing if they are declaring it correctly, and the company that hasn’t used the Canary Islands’ REF (Economic and Fiscal System) incentives for years. If you recognize yourself in any of these situations, you’ve come to the right place.
Our advisory services in Lanzarote
Tax, labor, and accounting services for self-employed individuals and companies operating on the island. All with an assigned advisor and no additional charges for each service.
Tax advice in Lanzarote
Quarterly and annual taxes, IGIC, Personal Income Tax (IRPF), Corporate Tax Income, and tax planning with the REF in mind. We present both the forms from the Spanish Tac Agency and those specific to the Canary Islands Tax Agency.
Employment advice in Lanzarote
Contracts, payrolls, social security, employee registrations and terminations, and bonuses. Very common in the hospitality and tourism sectors, where staffing is seasonal.
Accounting advice in Lanzarote
Up-to-date accounting, bank reconciliation, balance sheets, and annual accounts. The foundation for tax compliance and, above all, for understanding the true state of your business.
Looking for advice in Lanzarote? Here's what makes us different
Most business consultancies on the island operate by appointment only, during office hours, and charge a fee per transaction. We are a 100% online consultancy specializing in Canary Islands taxation. The differences in our day-to-day operations:
No travel or queues
You upload the documents from your mobile phone, whether you are in Arrecife or off the island.
An advisor with a name
Always the same person, not a generic office mailbox.
Fixed rate
You know what you're paying for and what's included before you sign, with no separate processing fees.
No commitment
We sign a service agreement, but you can leave whenever you want.
Billing software included
Free access to our billing program, at no additional cost.
Without your digital certificate
We neither use it nor keep it: we work with our own representation.
How much does a consultancy cost in Lanzarote?
Our plans start at €57/month and include complete tax management, with no additional charges for each form filed. Before you begin, we’ll tell you exactly what your plan covers and what it doesn’t: no hidden fees or extras on your end-of-quarter bill. You can see the details in our plans.
Lanzarote has a different tax system: IGIC, REF and the Canary Islands Tax Agency
Operating a business in Lanzarote is not the same as operating on the Spanish mainland. The IGIC (Canary Islands General Indirect Tax) replaces VAT with its own rates and quarterly filing system, the Canary Islands Economic and Fiscal Regime offers incentives that don’t exist outside the archipelago, and the Canary Islands Tax Agency has its own forms and deadlines separate from those of the Spanish Tax Agency (AEAT).
That means two administrations, two calendars, and two sets of obligations. We navigate both daily: IGIC, REPEP, RIC and ZEC are our domain, not an exception we consult only when it arises.
Holiday rentals in Lanzarote: the part that nobody manages for you
Airbnb’s platforms and management companies handle bookings and keys. Taxation is left to you, and that’s where the problems arise.
At Asesorae, we specialize in the tax and administrative aspects of this activity, for both resident and non-resident property owners. Our services include:
- Registration and recording of the property as a VUT (Variable Tourist Accommodation) with the Government of the Canary Islands, in accordance with the requirements of the regional regulations.
- Registration with the Canary Islands Tax Agency and quarterly submission of form 415 for IGIC.
- Declaration of rental income in the IRPF or IRNR if you are a non-resident.
- Tax optimization: deductible expenses, depreciation and annual planning.
- Coordination with your vacation management company to ensure smooth paperwork.
If you own a property in Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca, Costa Teguise, or anywhere else on the island and you’re unsure whether you meet all the requirements, tell us about your situation. You can find detailed information in our IGIC guide for holiday rentals.
Do you own a property in Lanzarote and live outside of Spain?
Lanzarote is home to many British, German, Irish, and Scandinavian landlords who only declare their rental income in their country of residence and assume that this is sufficient. This is almost never the case.
As a non-resident, you have your own obligations: Non-Resident Income Tax (IRNR), quarterly Form 210, withholding tax of 19% or 24% depending on your country of residence, and IGIC. We handle all of this in Spanish and English, without you having to travel to the island.
From Arrecife to Playa Blanca: the whole island, same service
Arrecife is the hub for commerce and administration; Tías and Puerto del Carmen, for established tourism; Yaiza and Playa Blanca, for high-end holiday rentals; Teguise, San Bartolomé, Tinajo, and Haría, for the network of self-employed workers and small businesses in the interior. And La Graciosa, with its own unique logistical characteristics.
As a 100% online advisory, there’s no difference for us: same service, same price, and same response time anywhere on the island. You don’t depend on the office being open or having to drive to the capital.

The most common mistakes we see among self-employed people and homeowners in Lanzarote
- Being registered with the Spanish Tax Agency (AEAT) but not with the Canary Islands Tax Agency, and failing to submit the forms required by the Government of the Canary Islands.
- Renting a property without registration as a VUT (Vehicle for Tourist Accommodation) or IGIC declarations, silently accumulating contingencies.
- Non-residents who declare rental income only in their country and do not file the IRNR in Spain.
- Misapplying the allocation of vacation rental expenses between rental periods and periods of own use.
- Leaving the REF incentives (RIC, ZEC) unused despite having benefits that would allow them to be used.
- Changing advisors mid-quarter without an orderly transfer of documentation.
We proactively notify you of deadlines and changes that affect you. And if you’re already facing any of these issues, contact us and we’ll review them.

Frequently asked questions about our consulting services in Lanzarote
How much does tax advice cost in Lanzarote?
Our plans start at €57/month with full tax management included. The final price depends on your turnover, whether you have employees, and whether you require company accounting. We’ll finalize the price before we begin, and we don’t charge per transaction.
If you're online... can you manage my business in Lanzarote just like a business consultancy in Arrecife?
Yes, and under the same regulations. We submit the forms for the Canary Islands Tax Agency and the Spanish Tax Agency (AEAT), and you have an assigned advisor by name. The difference is that you don’t need to travel or adhere to office hours.
I have a holiday home in Lanzarote, do I need advice?
Yes, especially if you’re renting for short periods. You have IGIC obligations to the Canary Islands Tax Agency, IRPF or IRNR obligations to the Spanish Tax Agency, and registration requirements with the Canary Islands Government. Managing this without an advisor often leads to costly mistakes.
I'm a foreigner and I own a property in Lanzarote. Do you have any experience with this profile?
This is one of our most common profiles. We handle non-resident income tax (IRNR), quarterly Form 210 returns, and rental income declarations. We work in both Spanish and English.
Do you handle the registration of holiday homes in Lanzarote?
Yes. We handle the registration with the Government of the Canary Islands, the registration with the Canary Islands Tax Agency for IGIC, and we review the requirements that the property must meet according to regional regulations.
Can you handle the change from my current consultancy?
Yes. We coordinate with your previous advisor and ensure a smooth transition so no presentations are lost. You’ll have your assigned advisor and the process underway in less than 48 hours from registration.
