Can I deduct travel expenses in the canary islands?

Expenses for transport can be deducted as long as they are related to your business activity whether you’re an SL company or a self-employed freelancer (Autonomo).

Food and beverages are a little different. If you have an SL company, you can submit invoices for food and beverages up to the value of 1% of the gross figure per year.

If you’re self-employed, you can offset the cost of food if you’re going for a meeting outside your municipality, or travelling nationally or abroad. There are different thresholds for each of these, and we can advise you of those when we have our first consultation.

You should provide a full invoice for any expenses you want to submit, not just a receipt and keep copies of any correspondence with the client which proves that the meeting was necessary.
