Law 11/2012, of 21 June, general indirect tax since the General Council in its session of 21 June 2012, has approved the following: law 11/2012, of 21 June, general indirect tax reason and justification of the creation of the general indirect tax for the purposes of the law of indirect tax which is presented is to regulate and implement for the first time in the history of the Principality of Andorra, this tax figure. This is a very important milestone in the process of tax reform started with the introduction of new direct taxes and must lead to an Andorran tax system modern and comparable to the surrounding countries, bearing in mind the peculiarities of our country and its economic structure.

The indirect tax video the economic capacity that becomes apparent as long as the final consumption of a good or service and, therefore, as a general tax on the consumption becomes a fundamental pillar in the field of indirect taxation. Its introduction allows you to replace the vast majority of the indirect tax currently in force, that, imperfect form in recent years, have tried to record the consumption produced in our territory. In this way the framework of indirect taxation happens to be more neutral and more efficient for businesses and more just for the public.

The introduction of a general indirect tax involves the assumption of general principles of taxation on consumption applicable to the geographic and economic environment close to the Principality, in particular in the European Union, and indeed around the world, where more than 130 countries already apply taxes on added value. This generalization can be understood by important advantages in terms of neutrality and Administration presents in front of other alternative forms of taxation of consumption. The indirect tax of the Principality of Andorra follow this path, because at the time of their configuration has been taken into account the international experience, in particular the European Union and of Directive 2006/112/EC, which harmonises the general indirect tax in the European Union, but complemented with that of other countries that more recently have introduced, in order to have a more neutral and simple. Creates an indirect tax structure more homogeneous and comparable to that of the countries of the geographical environment close to the Principality, in accordance with the European directive. However, the tax rate anticipated, both the general as well as the reduced or increased, in some levels much lower than those of surrounding countries to bear in mind the needs of the Andorran economy. In this law all operations are subject to a tax rate of a 4.5% except the products and services of first necessity to which we apply a super reduced rate of 0% or reduced from the 1% and 9.5% of the increased rate applicable to banking and financial services.

II guiding principles and fundamental aspects of indirect tax at the time of setting up the indirect tax have taken into consideration the principles of neutrality, both inside and abroad, of simplicity and equity regulations.

The indirect tax applies at all stages of production and distribution of goods and services, as well as imports of goods. Responsible for its application are the companies through the mechanism of the impact, leaving the buyer obliged to bear the tax, and companies to enter the repercutides in the periodic payments of the indirect tax. Because the tax only wants to burn the final consumption, to liquidate the business tax can be deducted the payments of tax supported on their purchases so that at each stage it collects the tax corresponding to the added value in this phase. As a result, the tax is neutral for companies, even though they play a fundamental role in its operation, since they are taxable.

This neutrality is fundamental to the indirect tax, which is levied on final consumption and not the intermediate consumption, and can only be reached through direct added value estimation. Therefore, the quotas supported by consumers will coincide with the box office takings by the Administration, without which there will be discrepancies between two tax income or amounts that break the neutrality of the tax and, in addition, often move away from economic reality. Automatically, the settlements of the tax will be adapted to the evolution of the economic circle. These characteristics represent without any doubt a significant improvement with respect to indirect taxes currently in force and that the indirect tax replaces.

The indirect tax also is neutral from the international perspective, by applying the principle of taxation at destination that is what prevails in the functioning of international trade. For this reason, the tax is levied also imports of goods made in the territory of the Principality, in such a way that the load supported by the products that will consume in Andorran territory is the same as supporting the goods produced internally. Likewise, in order to achieve the international neutrality declare exempt exports of goods, at the time that the employer exporter can recover all the fees of the tax supported in their purchases.

The principle of simplicity rules has been very present in the hour to set up the tax in order that your application is as simple as possible for both companies-taxable-and for the Ministry in charge of Finance responsible for their collection and control. For this reason, there is no exemption outside of those with technical character for international trade operations, which in turn allows companies to recover the totality of the payments of the tax supported without having to enter in the calculation of complicated mechanisms to meet the part of the quotas supported that would be tax deductible. In addition, in this way it guarantees the neutrality of the tax for businesses and that will become a hidden cost and distorsionador.


The indirect tax in the Principality, in keeping with their nature and scope, gravel all consumption of goods and services, even those that, due to its characteristics is more difficult to determine the value added. For this reason, in addition to the general scheme of operation is expected to be a simplified special scheme, volunteer, which wants to reduce the obligations of companies that adhere to the same.
