According to the Order HAP/50/2015 published, in the Spanish Official State Bulletin on January 27th, the exemption thresholds related to the statistical declaration Intrastat of exchange of goods between Member States of the EU have been modified. The thresholds established to be exempt from declaring the introduction and expedition of goods into/from Spain until December 31st, 2014 was 250,000 euros. However, as of January 1st, 2015, the new exemption thresholds of intracommunity introduction and expedition of goods are set at 400,000 euros. First return to be filed before February 12th., if the mentioned above is applicable. Therefore, companies that have not exceeded 400,000 euros in 2014 in introductions and expeditions (separately) will not be required to file statistical declaration Intrastat during 2015. In this regard, the approved order substantially increases the threshold for exemption from the obligation to declare, resulting in a significant reduction of administrative burden for small and medium companies. However, the taxpayers must include in said declarations the statistical values of the goods subject to these transactions.
