Understanding Spanish VAT

If you work with Spanish VAT, you should understand these terminology and principles:
VAT returns for each month must be completed on a special form and filed with the local tax office on the 20th of the month.
You must pay any excess output VAT over input VAT at the time of filing.
To be exempt from VAT, the business must work within these guidelines:
Goods must be physically moved to another EU-member country.
Customers must have VAT identification codes.
Invoices must display applicable VAT numbers.
Goods cannot be of a special category, such as vehicles.
