Taxes in Andorra for youtubers and streamers

The income obtained by youtubers (also streamers and influencers) in other countries such as Spain or France, as a general rule, are classified as income from economic activities, and are taxed at a personal income tax rate of 50%. In Andorra, simplifying, the maximum taxation for this income is 10%, with the first €24,000 also being exempt and the following €16,000 being taxed at 5%. You can read more about the Andorran personal income tax here.

At the end, adding all taxes the effective rate is less than 10% of the total income obtained, with which the savings are important and significant and, without a doubt, for certain volumes of income, they motivate a change of residence. Comparing taxes in Spain and Andorra It is clear that it is very profitable to make the transfer, despite its costs.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is very important to highlight the convenience of analyzing in detail each specific case, since on some occasions, some content creators receive returns from foreign countries, image rights, copyrights, royalties ... Correctly determining all returns and analyzing the impact of a change of residence is essential. This fact is especially relevant when receiving income from the US or Germany, countries where tax deductions of around 30% are practiced. For this reason, it is essential not only to change residence to Andorra, but an appropriate one international tax planning.

Legal process and procedures

Practically all youtubers, streamers or influencers residing in Andorra invoice all their income through a sole proprietorship. Society is taxed by profit at a rate of 10%, although the applied percentage ends up being lower due to the possibility of remunerating the administrator with an economic allocation, which reduces the result. Also, the dividends that the company subsequently pays to the youtuber are completely exempt from the Andorran personal income tax, thus also guaranteeing for the part of the Corporation Tax the maximum rate of 10% on profits or income. 

On the other hand, a part of the household costs, the salary of the cameras if any, and other costs can be computed as company expenses, thus further reducing the effective rate.

Guaranteed internet connection

For all digital businesses and, especially in the case of content creators working with a large volume of data due to the size of video files and direct, a good and fast Internet connection it is vital. As we have mentioned for other types of Insiders, Andorra has full fiber optic coverage in 100% of homes, with which you can live in a completely isolated corner in the mountains and still have access to the network with the latest technology.

To give us an idea, the Principality already in 2013 became the first country in the world to have full fiber optic coverage at a speed of 100 Mbps, thus disconnecting ADSL throughout the country in 2014 and the copper network of telephony in 2016. Currently it has 700 symmetrical Internet Mbps for home for € 35 and up to 1 Gbps for business. You can see rates and more information on the company's own website, Andorra Telecom.

This is even more important for content creators who stream video for example on Twitch or those who are engaged in e-sports professionally, because in these activities the data flow is very large and constant and a very good connection is required to do the job correctly.

Great community and networking

Being a youtuber or streamer, with repercussion and generating significant income - or with the expectation of generating it -, Andorra also offers a very competitive fiscal environment where you can save during this stage, a very important community of youtubers, streamers and influencers, allowing collaboration in different projects together and being able to "network" with them. What better than being surrounded by professionals from the same sector to progress, advance and feel at home.

Furthermore, since The exile of El Rubius in 2021 Andorra has been considered an even more serious destination for all those digital entrepreneurs who are fed up with the fiscal plundering of their countries (such as Spain) and who, on top of that, see how, despite the fact that they contribute much more than half of what they earn, They do not receive good help or pleasure from the administrations of their countries, quite the contrary.
