Invoicing and declaring work done in upwork in Spain

[badgecko]

Hi, I am a spanish freelancer and would like to talk to other Spanish freelancers working in upwork.  Although I have checked with 2 accountants and with Treasury department how I should declare the work I do here, everybody gives me different answers.   I am not sure if the invoices upwork send to my clients are valid to declare or I should invoice upwork for the ammount of my earnings, according to what I found in some forums. Upwork support is not very helpful about it, I was told to contact a local advicer, but unfortunatelly I haven't found anyone that  is sure about the procedure. So I would really appreciate some insight about it from other Spanish that have been declaring work from Upwork for a while.  I would pay for the advice if necessary.

Thanks a lot

I'm wondering the same as Spain has an invasive nearly dictatorial tax regime on both freelancers and businesses backed up by the EU.

Fortunately I see a way here as I managed to avoid both US and EU taxes because I am Honduran national and there is no laws in my country at this time for people who work online. My suggestion for you would be to get a nationality in a third world country like mine where there's no legislation. I have useful my payoneer funds normally without a problem. So, for my earnings I'm fine but I wonder the same as you, if Spain businesses can use the Upwork invoices to report in their spending. 

I want to get hired by EU businesses but I dont want to violate any laws from there. It's complicated I hope spain wake up
