WONDERING IF ANYONE CAN SHED SOME LIGHT…

I’M AMERICAN, HAVE A NIE CARD AND LIVE IN SPAIN (THOUGH HAVE NEVER REGISTERED WITH THE US EMBASSY TO THAT EFFECT), AM CURRENTLY WORKING AS A FREELANCE BI-LINGUAL TOUR LEADER BUT NOT ON THE BOOKS AND AM FEARFUL OF BEING CAUGHT SO WONDERED: IN ORDER TO AVOID THE HIGH SPANISH ‘AUTONOMA’ TAXES IF I COULD INVOICE MY AGENCIES AS AN AMERICAN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR…?

ALSO NEEDED TO CLARIFY IF THIS WILL MEAN THAT I WILL NEED TO HAVE AN AMERICAN BANK ACCOUNT IN ORDER FOR THE AGENCIES TO TRANSFER THEIR PAYMENTS IN TO OR NOT. IF SO, WILL THE US ASK QUESTIONS ON WHERE THE MONEY IS COMING FROM? OR COULD I OPEN ANOTHER ACCOUNT IN SPAIN BUT NOT MENTION MY NIE NUMBER AND ACT AS A VISITOR?

If you do the work in Spain you have to Pay tax in Spain are if the comes from Spain
