If you lived in Spain: how much tax you would pay on your LLC profit
The Spanish tax agency usually treats a single-member LLC as a look-through entity: the profit is yours in the year it arises and is taxed as business income under personal income tax. If effective management sits in Spain, it can treat the LLC as a Spanish-resident company (corporate income tax, art. 8 LIS).
