Andorra Streamlines Process for Cross-Border and Seasonal Workers Access
Andorra has introduced new regulations to streamline the income tax process for non-resident workers. This change aims to facilitate access for cross-border and seasonal workers, following a request from the business sector.
New Regulations for Non-Resident Workers
The Andorran government announced modifications to the Income Tax Regulation for Non-Resident Workers (IRNR). These adjustments are designed to improve the efficiency of tax processes in the country.
Details of the Changes
- The regulations allow employers to submit applications electronically on behalf of their employees.
- This aims to reduce queues at the Tax and Borders Department during winter season peak times.
- The changes support ongoing efforts for digitalization and simplification of tax-related procedures.
Benefits for Cross-Border and Seasonal Workers
Non-resident workers who are hired by companies based in Andorra will benefit significantly from these changes. They will be able to adhere to the general Income Tax on Individuals (IRPF) rules.
- Workers will have access to the same deductions, including the CASS contributions and a 3% deduction.
- The personal allowance tax exemption stands at €24,000.
- In addition, they will qualify for a taxation fee reduction.
Expected Outcomes
The government estimates that around 5,000 seasonal workers will benefit from this regulatory simplification. This move not only aids workers but also assists businesses in managing their tax obligations more efficiently.
With these enhancements, Andorra is positioning itself as a more attractive destination for businesses and workers alike, streamlining necessary processes for a smoother operation.
