⚖️ Is it legal to be taxed in Andorra while working for companies abroad?

Yes. It is entirely legal.

Living in Andorra and invoicing digital or international services is a recognised and common model, but it requires that:

• you are genuinely a tax resident in Andorra,
• you comply with international rules,
• and you declare your income correctly under the Andorran tax system.

For the first criterion, several elements determine tax residency. Key factors include showing that your centre of economic or personal interests is in Andorra: housing, daily life, economic activity, tax documentation, CASS affiliation, or permanence days.

As for the second criterion, each country has its own rules and particularities. There is no universal answer; each case must be analysed individually.

Regarding declaring income under the Andorran system, several obligations apply. You can understand these specificities in the article Taxation in Andorra.

🏠 Real requirements to be taxed in Andorra if you work remotely

To be taxed in Andorra — and therefore stop paying taxes abroad — it is necessary, among other things, to be a tax resident. This means complying with:

• Holding a valid administrative residence permit issued by the Andorran Government. You can see the different types of permits in Types of residence in Andorra: all administrative categories
• Spending a certain number of days in the country, usually 183, although not always strictly required.
• Analysing existing fiscal ties with other countries, especially to avoid residency conflicts. Learn more in Tax residency conflicts: what to do when two countries consider you a resident at the same time
• Being affiliated with CASS as self-employed, which requires declaring an activity. More information in Contribution of self-employed workers to CASS
• Invoicing as a self-employed individual or through an Andorran company (self-employment is not always possible). See How to incorporate a company in Andorra
• Keeping documentary evidence: personal income tax return, rental or purchase contract, utility bills, CASS affiliation (only required in case of inspection)
• Handling correctly the tax exit from the previous country, avoiding double residency and meeting any exit obligations. Requirements vary by jurisdiction.

In practice, it is almost always advisable to analyse the situation in your country of origin. Certain types of income or activities may create additional obligations. Even if these are exceptional, overlooking them can lead to unnecessary risks.

💼 Tax and operational advantages for digital professionals

Working online from Andorra offers clear advantages:

• Maximum personal income tax (IRPF) rate of 10%, with effective rates between 0% and 10% depending on income level. You can consult Personal Income Tax (IRPF) in Andorra for detailed information
• A simple, stable, internationally aligned tax system. See Taxation in Andorra for a complete overview
• Flexible CASS contributions depending on income and turnover, adjustable through coefficients (between €318 and €563 in 2025)
• Strong legal certainty and clear regulations

• Worldwide income taxation, fully compatible with international clients
• A banking system integrated into SEPA, making international payments straightforward. See Andorran banking system or SEPA in Andorra

Remote work is particularly suitable for:

• developers, designers, analysts, consultants
• content creators and online educators
• SaaS professionals (software as a service)
• liberal professionals with international activity

However, these are just the most common profiles. Many other activities can be carried out partially online while fully complying with obligations, and there is almost always an optimal alternative.

🌄 Quality of life and connectivity: why Andorra works so well for online work

🚫 Common mistakes to avoid

Some frequent mistakes can lead to tax problems or unnecessary delays:

• Believing that spending a few days in Andorra is enough to stop being taxed in the country of origin — this always requires detailed analysis
• Failing to manage the tax exit properly (local registry, obligations, social security, or even Exit Tax)
• Keeping invoicing structures incompatible with Andorran rules. We strongly recommend reading Effective place of management: key to determining a company’s tax residency
• Not registering with CASS or failing to obtain trading authorisation. Learn more in CASS in Andorra: contributions, coverage and key points or Opening a business and obtaining commercial authorisation in Andorra
• Assuming Andorra only taxes local income (it applies worldwide income, which is advantageous despite seeming counterintuitive)
• Not analysing personal, economic and patrimonial circumstances carefully enough

📌 In summary

Yes, it is legal to be taxed in Andorra while working online or for foreign companies, provided there is genuine tax residency, a properly structured activity, and coherent documentation.

When things are done correctly — especially from the beginning — you save time, money, and gain peace of mind. Having a specialised adviser, or ideally a consultant, ensures that every decision is sound and aligned with your goals.

Andorra offers a stable, secure and efficient framework for anyone wishing to improve their quality of life and work from a solid and modern environment.
