Understanding how financial income is taxed in Andorra

Financial income — interest, dividends, bank yields, bonds or investment funds — is a common part of the wealth of individuals and companies alike. However, its taxation changes entirely depending on who earns it and where it comes from.

Andorra applies a simple, though not fully homogeneous, structure:

• Resident individuals are taxed under the IRPF.
• Non-residents (IRNR) are generally exempt.
• Companies include these items in Corporate Income Tax.

This article explains, clearly and without unnecessary complexity, how financial income is actually taxed in Andorra.

IRPF for Andorran tax residents

Financial income forms part of investment income and, as a general rule, is taxed at 10 %. However, several important exceptions apply.

🔹Applicable rate

In most cases, the standard tax rate is 10 %.
That said, a significant portion of financial income is exempt.

🔹Dividends

• From Andorran companies → theoretically taxed at 10 %, though fully exempt in practice.
• From abroad → in principle taxed at 10 %, but since they usually arrive with withholding tax in the source country, there is often no additional Andorran tax.

When a Double Tax Treaty (DTT) exists between Andorra and the source country, the withholding may be even lower.

🔹Interest and other investment income

Interest and income from fixed-income securities (bonds, notes, loans, etc.) are generally taxed at 10 %.

If these amounts arrive with foreign withholding, that withholding is creditable against IRPF in Andorra.

🔹Gains from financial products

In general, most capital gains derived from financial products (transfer of shares or equity interests) are exempt.

They are only taxable if:

• the individual holds more than 25 % of the participation, and
• has held it for less than 10 years.

Other gains — such as those from cryptocurrencies — are taxed at the general 10 % rate.

🔹The €3,000 exemption

The first €3,000 per year of investment income is exempt.
This includes:

• bank interest and deposits
• fixed-income yields
• dividends

IRNR for non-residents: the general rule is 0 %

The IRNR regime is particularly simple for financial income: in most cases it is not taxed at all.
The objective is straightforward: to attract foreign capital to Andorran financial products.

🔹Interest: not subject

Interest paid by Andorran banks to non-residents is not subject to tax, with no withholding or filing requirement.

🔹Dividends: 0 %

Dividends paid by an Andorran company to a non-resident are taxed at 0 %, unless linked to a permanent establishment.

🔹Financial gains

Capital gains from financial products are also taxed at 0 %, except in very specific cases related to indirect real-estate assets.

In short: a non-resident receiving financial income from Andorra pays 0 % tax in the country.

Andorran companies: Corporate Income Tax (CIT)

For companies, financial income is incorporated directly into taxable income.

🔹General rule

• All financial income is included in the accounting result.
• The general CIT rate is 10 %.

🔹Dividends received by companies

• From Andorran companies → exempt if a minimum participation threshold is met.
• From abroad → taxed at 10 %, although international double-tax relief often results in no effective tax.

🔹Interest and financial returns

Always taxed at 10 %.

🔹Capital gains

Taxed at 10 %, except where international double-taxation exemptions apply.

• Residents are taxed moderately, with relevant exemptions.
