ManagedDocumentedConsistentDefensible
01 / Substance in practice
The company must tell one coherent story.
Spanish Corporate Income Tax Law includes the place of effective management in the corporate-residence analysis. In practical governance work, the decision record, declared activity, contracts and operating reality must not contradict one another.

Material decisions are timely and properly recorded.
Contracts, filings and activity support the business model.

Formal Spanish registration with no clear record of where control is exercised.
Declared classification and actual revenue model point in different directions.
Material actions take place without resolutions, minutes or approval evidence.
The formal role and actual authority are not aligned.
Contracts, explanations, ownership and expected flows do not agree.
The company’s purpose is not supported by contracts, people, activity or records.
