Andorra is a microstate in the Pyrenees, located between Spain and France, with one of the most competitive tax systems in Europe.

Why register a company in Andorra

Andorra introduced corporate tax only in 2012 (Llei de l'Impost de Societats), later than most European countries, and immediately set one of the lowest rates on the continent at 10%. The country is not part of the EU, but uses the euro under a monetary agreement and is part of a customs union with the EU for industrial goods, which simplifies trade with neighboring Spain and France.

Andorra does not levy property tax, inheritance tax, or capital gains tax on assets held for more than 10 years, which makes the jurisdiction stand out favorably compared to neighboring Spain and France with their significantly higher tax burden.

Types of companies in Andorra:

  1. Societat Limitada (SL): The equivalent of an LLC (limited liability company). Shareholders have limited liability.

  2. Societat Anonima (SA): A joint-stock company. Minimum share capital of 60,000 EUR. This form is usually suitable for large companies with many shareholders.

  3. Branches of foreign companies: Allows foreign companies to operate in Andorra. Does not require forming new share capital in the country.

  4. Partnerships and cooperatives: Suitable for specific types of business or social initiatives.

Important! After registering a company in Andorra, you can apply for an Andorran residence permit on the basis of entrepreneurial activity.

Once a company in Andorra is registered, you can apply for resident status. To do this, you need to:

  • Be an administrator of a company registered in Andorra and hold a stake of more than 34%.

  • Deposit 50,000 euros with the Andorran Financial Authority (AFA); under 2026 legislation, this contribution is final and non-refundable rather than a returnable deposit.

  • Reside in Andorra for at least 183 days a year.

  • Conduct genuine activity in the country and earn a minimum income.

  • Have a place to live in Andorra (purchased or rented).

General Information

Registration Features

  • Registering a company in Andorra is a two-stage process: first, a government authorization to register (Autorització d'Inversió Estrangera) must be obtained, and only then can the documents be submitted for official registration with the Commercial Registry.
  • For certain types of activity (financial services, insurance), a separate license from the relevant regulator, the Andorran Financial Authority (AFA), is additionally required.

Company Name

The name must be unique and comply with the rules of the Andorran Commercial Registry.

Authorized Capital

The minimum share capital is EUR 3,000.

It is formed by depositing funds into the company's bank account before its registration.

Director

The company's director can be any individual or legal entity, regardless of nationality.

Shareholders

A shareholder can be a citizen of any country, including Ukraine. Non-residents are required to obtain a special permit to hold more than 10% of the share capital.

Financial Reporting

Companies in Andorra are required to keep accounting records and file financial statements annually.

Depending on the type of company, an audit may also be required.

Taxation

  • Corporate tax: a flat rate of 10% on company profit.
  • For certain types of activity (in particular, holding structures), reduced rates may apply, provided the special legal requirements are met; our specialists will confirm whether your business qualifies for this regime.
  • VAT (IGI): 4.5%, one of the lowest rates in Europe.

Confidentiality

Andorra has implemented transparency reforms and been removed from international blacklists of offshore jurisdictions, while still keeping its registry closed to public access by third parties: information about company owners is not publicly available, although it is shared with the tax authorities of countries participating in the automatic exchange of information (CRS).

A business in Andorra can be established remotely. It is enough to provide apostilled documents.

04

Answers to the Most Common Questions:

Registering a company in Andorra costs from €8,000. This price includes the share capital (from €3,000 for an SL), government fees, notary services, and support in obtaining permission for foreign ownership of a stake exceeding 10%. Our specialists will calculate the exact amount for your structure.
The main reason is the need to obtain government permission for a foreign owner (if the stake exceeds 10%), which alone takes at least a month. On top of this comes due diligence checks, notarization, and opening a bank account with the KYC procedure of the Andorran bank.
Yes, company registration and obtaining a residence permit are separate procedures. The company owner is not required to become a resident of Andorra; a residence permit is only needed by those who plan to actually live in the country for 183 days or more per year and manage the business personally.
