About the service
What is the Tax Inspections in Spain?
A tax inspection in Spain (inspección de Hacienda) is a formal review process initiated by the Tax Agency (Agencia Tributaria) to verify that you have correctly declared and paid your taxes. Facing this process alone is a significant risk.
It all begins with a certified letter: a notification or requirement (requerimiento) requesting information about a specific tax or period. This is the moment to act, not to wait.
The inspection can range from a limited check (comprobación limitada) focused on a single issue, to a full-blown, comprehensive audit of your entire financial situation over several years.
The inspector will request documents, accounting records, invoices, and bank statements, and may ask you to attend meetings to answer questions. Your responses are legally binding and will determine the outcome.
The process concludes with an assessment from the inspector. If they find irregularities, they will issue a provisional tax settlement proposing a payment. If you disagree, the case proceeds to a formal disagreement (acta de disconformidad), which is the precursor to potential penalties.
Our role is to become your legal shield from the very first moment.
We immediately notify the Tax Agency that we are your official legal representatives, and all future communications will be directed to us. You will not have to speak to the inspector directly.
We analyze the scope of the inspection, build a robust legal defense strategy, and meticulously prepare all the documentation required. We attend all meetings on your behalf, defending your position with technical and legal arguments.
Our goal is to resolve the inspection as favorably as possible: either by demonstrating full compliance and closing the file without charges, or by significantly reducing the proposed settlement and eliminating or minimizing any penalties.

I had an amazing experience working with Dario and his team throughout my visa process. They made everything completely stress-free and were incredibly helpful every step of the way. Dario speaks excellent English, which made communication easy and comfortable, and he was always responsive, patient, and clear in explaining everything. He and his colleagues handled every detail with care, efficiency, and in a very timely manner, which gave me a lot of confidence and truly made my life so much easier throughout the entire process. By far the best lawyer I’ve worked with in Barcelona. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Dario and his team to anyone needing help with visas or immigration.Posted on Google Marc Ovalle22/03/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

A friend recommended Illay Legal to help obtain my permanent residency in Spain. Exceptional service! Marc explained every part of the process clearly and precisely. Once I provided all the necessary details, the team did all the work: pre-completed the necessary paperwork, helped retrieve padron and digital tax certificate, secured appointments in my preferred neighbourhood and checked in with me before and after both appointments. I subsequently switched both my tax and business accountancy contracts to Marc's firm and have enjoyed the same very high level of service. Communication via email and WhatsApp, and extremely responsive to answering any small or large questions/concerns. A huge endorsement to the whole team - I would highly reccomend.
