In the Spanish Law on Capital Stock Companies (Ley de Sociedades de Capital or “Law”), there is an article (283) which historically has not been attributed much importance because in practice either it was not applicable or very seldomly applied. The article foresees various fines (up to 300,000 euros) for companies that do not deposit their annual accounts by the legally established deadline.

For years now, e-commerce has not stopped growing. It is undoubtable, however, that due to the prevention measures against COVID-19, e-commerce has increased significantly. It is within this context that modifications have been made to the European Directive on VAT with respect to so-called distance sales. It must be noted that this modification is exclusively directed at sales made with final customers, not business owners, which are located in EU countries other than that of the vendor’s registered address.

The Spanish Law on Capital Stock Companies (Ley de Sociedades de Capital) establishes that a company has an objective cause for dissolution when losses decrease net equity to an amount equal to less than half of its capital. Within two months of when the governing body learns or should have learned of said situation, it must call the shareholders to a meeting to adopt the necessary corrective measures, proceed with dissolution of the company or request a declaration of insolvency. Failure to comply with this obligation implies that the director is jointly and severally liable for the corporate obligations subsequent to the occurrence of the legal cause for dissolution.
