Does Kontist serve business customers in Spain?

Kontist offers a business account with tax features aimed at freelancers and the self employed in Germany. It requires users to reside in Germany with official registration, known as Anmeldung, and it is built around German tax filing. A freelancer or business based only in Spain does not meet these conditions, so Kontist is not available for a Spain based business.

Eligibility for businesses in Spain

Kontist requires German residence with official registration and ties the account to German tax obligations. A person based in Spain, filing taxes in Spain, does not meet these requirements. German residence and registration would be needed to qualify. Verify with the provider

What it costs locally

There is no local Spain pricing, because Kontist does not serve a Spain based business. Its account and plan pricing apply to users registered in Germany, in euro with a German IBAN. As of 25 June 2026

What local users report

There is no established base of Spain based users, because Kontist onboarding requires German residence and registration. Freelancers and small businesses in Spain that want an online euro account with tax features look to providers established in the Spanish market. As of 25 June 2026, confirm the current position with each provider before relying on it.
