In this article we explain to you what options you have, what are the most common mistakes and how avoid legal complications from the very first moment.

What does it mean to have a registered office in a limited company?

When you form a limited company, you need to declare to the Treasury and the Commercial Registry a physical address which will work as:

  • Tax address (for tax purposes, notifications, inspections, etc.).

This address must be real, accessible and legally valid, even if you are not physically present there. This is where specialized solutions such as tax domiciliation for digital nomads, which allow you to comply with the law without renting a traditional office.
