Duty free stores: Andorra. VAT 4.5% + no excise. Why do 8 mln Spaniards and French visit Andorra for shopping every year?

Duty free stores: Andorra. The whole country is duty free

Why do 8 million Spaniards and French visit Andorra to go shopping every year?

Today the capital of Andorra offers a huge variety of shopping facilities to its tourists.

Due to the fact that the Principality has one of the lowest VAT rates (IGI — 4.5%) in Europe, shopping in Andorra is the best inside the borders of the EU. Average prices for some food products, clothing, sporting goods, equipment, and alcohol are lower than in neighboring Spain or France by 15–20%.

Spain VAT rates start from 4% to 21% on basic products. For example, basic foodstuffs, medicines, and transport are taxed at 10%. In France there are 4 VAT rates: 18.6% is the standard rate for all goods and services; 33,33% is the marginal rate on luxury items, cars, alcohol, tobacco; and there is a 7% reduced rate on cultural goods and services; finally, 5,5% is applied to the goods and services of first necessity (food, except alcohol and chocolate; medicines, housing, transport).

In addition, in Andorra, there are no taxes on imports.

Because of more competitive prices, the trade market is one of the main economic sectors in Andorra.

Where to ski? Soldeu – El Tarter. Best ski tracks: Andorran Àliga SG Àliga SL

Where to ski? Soldeu — El Tarter: best ski tracks. Àliga SG Àliga SL

The history of the legendary area of Soldeu — El Tarter started in 1964, the year the resort opened with the inauguration of a two‑seater chairlift, a ski lift for beginners in Pla dels Espiolets and 10 skiable kilometres spread over 3 slopes: a red one, a blue one and a green one. Thanks to the investment of the Baró, Salvans and Torrellardona families and of Crèdit Andorrà, constituted in the ENSISA society in 1963, the resort expanded progressively during the 60s and 70s with the construction of the Soldeu bridge, which allowed for a more direct access to the resort, a new ski lift to get to the top part and to the upland of Tosa dels Espiolets, the creation of a ski school and the purchase of Andorra’s first snow‑grooming machine.

In the 1980s, more specifically in the 81–82 season, the resort expanded with the area of El Tarter with the inauguration of the Riba Escorxada sector, which had access to the town of El Tarter. Two new chairlifts were added, one from the foot of El Tarter to Riba Escorxada and another to connect the two plains, known as the Trans‑Siberian. Thanks to the entry of the Canillo parish as a shareholder in ENSISA with a 33% stake, the first snowmakers were set up to add snow to the Espiolets area, with two main centres created at the base of each resort to add snow to the slopes and to the lowest levels. In the 1990s, the Canillo parish and Crèdit Andorrà became majority shareholders of ENSISA. The entity capitalised its debt with the resort with shares and Canillo added the equivalent amount in shares with the objective of modernising the resort. Among other improvements, the winter of 96–97 saw the inauguration of the first eight‑seater ski lift in Soldeu, the first of its kind in the Pyrenees, which linked Soldeu with Pla d’Espiolets, achieving a new important step in connecting the town with the resort.

After a few political difficulties, the new sector of Forn was opened in the 2000–01 season, financed by the Canillo parish with the idea of creating a more exclusive type of product. The project included the installation of a ski lift, two chairlifts, two slopes, a beginner’s area and service area with a restaurant and a building for a ski school. So the largest spot where to ski appeared in Andorra. This is how the fusion of Soldeu — El Tarter and the new sector of Canillo was established

Alcohol: cheap and expensive. Andorra: 4.5% VAT with no excises

Why do more than 5 million Spaniards and French come to Andorra every year? One of the main reasons — to buy alcohol, as it’s the cheapest on the market in Western Europe.

Andorra is not part of the European Union, therefore, the country’s trade policy is not affected by the strict European regulations of the alcohol market. In addition, Andorra today has the lowest VAT rate in Europe, which is fixed for all types of goods (including alcohol) at 4.5%. Andorra has also no excise on alcohol trade, which is actively practiced by the pan‑European taxation on alcohol policy.

Shops in Andorra sell all kinds of alcohol, including exquisite “museum” types of cognac and wines at low prices (interesting for collectors), as well as cheap alcohol for every day consumption.

Cheap accommodation: Andorra technology without mediator

Accommodation Andorra without intermediaries

How can you book the best hotel for cheaper acomodation

and not be overcharged by travel agencies and online booking systems?

The majority of Andorra’s hotels (about 60%) are connected to the electronic reservation system booking.com or hotels.com. However, these systems work with hotels on the principle that they receive a 5 to 15% commission. Meaning, by booking a hotel in Andorra through these systems, you’re paying 5 — 15% more for a room.

In addition, all hotels in the world when working with tour operators (and tour operators use electronic reservation systems) sell 5–10% more rooms than the hotel actually has in reality. This is a typical worldwide practice that has developed historically for the convenience of the client who books fast, with the drawback that overpayments are made. The main reason why hotels continue to do this is because there is a 60–70% customer refusal rate. The actual price at which the hotel wants to sell the room is significantly lower. Accomodation process in the ski season (or the summer season, when Andorra is visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists to see, for example, the stages of the Tour de France), in Andorra the occupancy of hotels can be unpredictable. Therefore, it is optimal to book a room directly through the hotel site to pay the lowest price and save yourself from an unpleasant surprise at the last moment when the tour operator has to put you in another hotel.

Best places to retire. Retirement in Andorra

Best places to retire. Retirement in Andorra: 14 “PROS”

Andorra is an increasingly popular destination for tax residence purposes, especially in the case of people with “high added value”, such as ex‑directors of large companies right after their retirement.

Why is this so?

Andorra is an attractive destination to reside, both due to its proximity to Spain and France, as well as for its standard of living, its natural environment and security, and recently, for its fiscal framework.

Article 18 of the OECD Model CDI (the Double Taxation Avoidance), which corresponds to Article 17 of those subscribed by Andorra, as could be the case of France and Spain, grant exclusive taxation powers to the State of residence to tax retirement pensions. This implies that if a new resident in Andorra receives a pension from the Spanish Social Security, they will only be taxed according to the Personal Income Tax (IRPF) of Andorra, without withholding taxes.
