Short answer<\/p>\n

Company directors and Spanish self-employed status<\/h2>\n

Status depends on both the work or management performed for the company and effective control. Spanish Social Security law includes ownership presumptions, including family and combined holdings, but the actual facts remain central.<\/p>\n

\n

A shareholder is not always self-employed<\/h3>

A passive investor is different from someone who regularly works for or directs the company.<\/p><\/article>\n

Control may be indirect<\/h3>

The holdings of the individual, spouse or cohabiting relatives can matter in the ownership analysis.<\/p><\/article>\n

Directorship and pay must align<\/h3>

Corporate documents, executive duties, payroll or invoices should tell a consistent story.<\/p><\/article>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n
