What this document is

Modelo 147 “Comunicación del desplazamiento a territorio español” is an official form of the Spanish Tax Agency (AEAT). It is filed by an employee who is not yet a Spanish tax resident but will become one because of moving here for work. AEAT issues a certificate, and the employer withholds IRPF from the salary from the start instead of non-resident tax.

Two pages — a copy for the tax office and a copy for the employee; FoxDocs prints your details on both while keeping the official PDF layout.

Who files it, where and when

  • an employee moving to Spain whose work here is expected to last more than 183 days in the year of the move (or in the following year);
  • the employer must be resident in Spain or have a permanent establishment here;
  • it is filed at the AEAT office (Administración or Delegación) for your address in Spain on the filing date; with no address — the place of work, then the employer’s tax address; it can also be filed online on the AEAT website (procedure G605);
  • deadline: from the date of entry up to 183 days after it; if the 183 days are only reached the next year — until 30 June of that year; it may be filed in advance, but no earlier than 30 days before entry;
  • AEAT issues the certificate within 10 working days of filing, in two copies — for the employee and for the employer.

What the form asks

  • section 1: NIF (NIE or DNI), surnames and name, address in Spain, one or two phone numbers;
  • section 2: a different Spanish address for notifications and whose it is — only if letters should not go to your address;
  • section 3: the employer’s NIF, name and tax address;
  • section 4: date of entry into Spain and date work starts here;
  • section 5: a representative, if one files for you; section 6: place, date and signature; section 7 is for the tax office.

What to attach

  • a copy of the document showing your NIF (NIE or DNI);
  • a document from the employer: that you work for them, the start date in Spain, the workplace and its address, the length of the contract, and that the work in Spain is meant to last more than 183 days in the year;
  • a power of attorney if a representative files.

Frequently asked questions

Why file Modelo 147?

Without it the employer would at first withhold tax as for a non-resident. The AEAT certificate lets IRPF be withheld as for a resident straight away.

Who can file Modelo 147?

An employee who is not yet a Spanish tax resident but will become one through the move: the work in Spain must last more than 183 days in the year of the move or the next one.

What is the deadline?

From the date of entry up to 183 days after it; if the 183 days are reached only the next year — until 30 June. Before entry — no earlier than 30 days ahead.

Where is it filed?

At the AEAT office for your address in Spain; with no address — by place of work or the employer’s tax address. Online filing on the AEAT website is also possible.

What do I do with the AEAT certificate?

AEAT issues it within 10 working days in two copies: you keep one and give the other to your employer.

Can I file without an NIE?

No: the form needs an NIF, and a copy of the document showing it is attached. Get your NIE first.

Is it the same as Modelo 149?

No. Modelo 149 is the choice of the special tax regime for workers moving to Spain. Modelo 147 only reports the move so that withholding follows IRPF from the start.
