Junaid C.

I help international businesses navigate Spain & Portugal VAT, cross-border tax and EU tax structuring — particularly when they are entering, selling into, or expanding within the European market. My recent Upwork work includes Spanish VAT/IVA advisory and Spain VAT deregistration for a US LLC, alongside 13+ years of experience across accounting, taxation, financial management and international business operations. I work with businesses that need more than routine bookkeeping — for example, determining the correct VAT treatment of cross-border transactions, understanding registration obligations, structuring their activities appropriately, or dealing with VAT issues when expanding into Spain or Portugal. My areas of work include: • Spain & Portugal VAT registration, compliance and advisory • Cross-border VAT and EU transaction analysis • Amazon FBA / e-commerce VAT considerations • VAT treatment of international sales and services • Tax structuring and practical tax advisory • VAT deregistration and changes in business activity • Bookkeeping, reconciliations and accounting support • QuickBooks Online, Xero and Excel I approach each engagement by first understanding how the business actually operates — where the company is established, where customers are located, where goods/services are supplied, how payments flow and where the relevant tax obligations arise. This allows me to provide practical guidance rather than simply applying a standard checklist. I am based in Portugal and currently completing a Master's in Finance at Católica Porto Business School. I work comfortably with international clients and cross-border business structures and can communicate complex accounting and tax matters clearly to business owners. If you are expanding into Spain/Portugal, selling through Amazon or another e-commerce platform, or trying to determine the correct VAT/tax treatment of your international activities, I can help you understand the issue and identify the appropriate next steps.
