- Tasks and scope
For an alternative to TaxDown in Spain with advisor-led bookkeeping and phone support, compare Taxfix Premium and Finlai Gold.
Xolo and Declarando offer other ways to manage your activity. Start with the tasks you want to hand over rather than the advertised fee.
Free autónomo registration, no subscription required
For standard individual registrations in mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands, excluding the Basque Country and Navarre. The Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla are not covered. If your situation is unusual, we review your case first.
Finlai publishes this comparison and sells one of the services included. We have a commercial interest. The options are grouped by need, not ranked as an independent best-of list.
Here, Renta means the annual personal income tax return in Spain. An autónomo is a self-employed person registered in Spain.
What do you want to change about TaxDown?
If you use Standard and want help recording invoices or talking on the phone, compare upgrading to Premium before leaving. If a particular transaction is outside your service, describe it to the new advisor. Switching brands without confirming scope may leave the same issue unresolved.
Four alternatives according to your needs
| Service | Published price | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Taxfix Pro | €39.90/month + VAT | Renta from the subscription year; phone support and advisor bookkeeping in Premium. |
| Finlai Gold | €49.90/month + VAT | Personal advisor, bookkeeping and Renta; no employees. |
| Xolo Local | €39/month + VAT | Spanish activity; Renta +€6/month and at least six months with Xolo. |
| Declarando Básico with taxes | €49.90/month + VAT, annual plan | Annual-plan equivalent, for earnings up to €1,000/month; customer submits returns. |
Prices and conditions checked on 26 October 2026. N/A means we could not establish a comparable total.[1][2][3][4][5]
Annual-plan equivalents are not cancellable monthly fees. Confirm the current quote, tax treatment and scope before signing.[1][2][3][4][5]
Taxfix: choose who handles the bookkeeping
Pro advertises quarterly and annual filings and Renta from the year you subscribe. Premium adds calls and bookkeeping handled by the advisor.[3]
It may suit you if you want to choose that level of delegation. Ask about previous tax years and which income the Renta service covers.[3]
Compare Premium with a similarly scoped plan rather than an entry-level fee.[3]
Finlai Gold: delegate to a personal advisor
Finlai: Free autónomo registration, no subscription required. Discover your plan without creating an account.
Gold includes bookkeeping, tax filings, Renta and unlimited chat and phone consultations. It may suit you if you want a regular contact and year-round tax management.[1]
Our published comparison lists assisted switching. Ask separately about earlier quarters or specialist proceedings: help moving your records does not establish that this extra work is included.[7]
Xolo: separate domestic and international activity
Local targets domestic activity; Global adds international operations and intra-EU VAT registration. It may suit you if that distinction matches your business.[4]
Local offers Renta for an extra €6/month and requires at least six months with Xolo. Free registration also requires six months.[4]
Confirm the regular Global fee after any promotion rather than treating free months as its ongoing price.[4]
Declarando: software with tax guidance
The offer separates using the software with your existing accountant from managing taxes through Declarando. It may suit you if you want to take part in bookkeeping and filing.[5]
Básico with taxes advertises a monthly equivalent tied to an annual plan. Confirm who reviews and submits each return: our published comparison records customer submission according to its help documentation, rather than full delegation to an advisor.[5][7]
The Básico offer targets earnings up to €1,000/month; ask which tier fits your activity.[5]
When staying with TaxDown may make sense
If your current plan covers your activity, you are comfortable with the workload and you receive the filings and support you need, staying can be reasonable. Compare any upgrade with the full cost of moving, including earlier work and cancellation terms.[2]
When Finlai is not right for you
- You already have an accountant and only need invoicing software: a complete tax-management plan may add services you do not need.
- You pay tax in the Basque Country or Navarre: Finlai does not serve those territories.
- Your only priority is the lowest entry fee: compare plans with less delegation and check the same tasks and taxes.
- You need an inspection defence, a penalty case or an appeal: these proceedings are outside the ordinary plan; ask a specialist.
- You have employees or a limited company: Gold is not the comparable plan. Ask about Premium or Empresas and their scope.
How to switch without losing your records
Agree who completes each period
Record which provider files the current quarter, Renta and annual summaries. If a tax notice is open, agree who handles it and which work needs a separate quote.
Download your records before cancelling
Keep ledgers, invoices, filed returns and submission receipts. Check available export formats and how long you retain access after cancellation.
Ask the new advisor to check the handover
Send the records and ask for confirmation of what has arrived and what is missing. Request a separate quote for correcting errors or completing earlier work.
Check the contract, access and first filing
Check renewal, commitment and cancellation dates. Agree how representation and tax notifications will be managed. Keep the receipt for the new advisor’s first submission.
The detailed handover checklist is currently available in Spanish; use your browser translation if needed.
What to ask before booking a call
Tell the advisor about your activity, countries involved, employees and any open issues. Ask for a quote covering bookkeeping, returns, Renta and the handover. Finlai provides service in Spanish and English; confirm the language of your day-to-day contact.
