Spain profile
Vasalto is a Madrid-based payroll, accounting, tax and legal outsourcing firm that also sells an Employer of Record service for foreign companies hiring in Spain. It trades through Vasalto Tech and Talent, S.A., registered in the Registro Mercantil de Madrid (hoja M-167452) and incorporated on 19 January 1996 as ALT Asesores Legales y Tributarios SL. The company was renamed in 2016 and converted into a sociedad anónima in 2019. Its NIF was corrected to A81362881 in BORME on 16 January 2023, although several company databases still show the older B81362881. Luis Guerra Carbajo is administrador único and is presented as Director General. Share capital is EUR 970,375.45. Vasalto claims more than 30 years in business, 100+ specialists and 700+ client companies; a 1993 founding date seen elsewhere could not be confirmed in the register.
Its EOR page says Vasalto acts as legal employer while the client directs the team. It claims 5,900 EOR payrolls and 900 hires and leavers a year, and bilingual Spanish/English service with a dedicated account manager. The page also covers Social Security registration, contracts registered in Contrat@, collective-agreement compliance, IRPF filings, and NAFF work authorisations for EU and non-EU staff. Onboarding is quoted at 5 to 7 working days from signature.
The company does not claim to be a temporary-work agency (ETT). Its registered business purpose is advisory, and no ETT authorisation could be confirmed. Spanish law generally allows workers to be supplied to another company only through an authorised ETT, so buyers should ask how the arrangement is structured. Pricing is a monthly fee per employee, given by quote only. The firm holds ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certificates. No G2, Capterra or Trustpilot listing was found.
Spain facts
| Spanish employing entity | Vasalto Tech and Talent, S.A., Vasalto's own Spanish company and not a partner. Its EOR page states 'Nosotros somos el empleador legal, tú diriges al equipo' (we are the legal employer, you direct the team). Formerly ALT Asesores Legales y Tributarios SL, it was renamed Vasalto Tech and Talent SL (BORME, 9 December 2016) and converted into an S.A. (registered 19 November 2019). A Barcelona subsidiary, Vasalto T&T Catalunya SL, was dissolved in April 2022. |
| CIF / NIF | A81362881. BORME of 16 January 2023 records 'Cambio de NIF de la sociedad siendo el correcto el A81362881', and the privacy policy uses the same number. Empresia, infonif and GoWork still show the earlier B81362881. |
| Commercial register | Registro Mercantil de Madrid, hoja M-167452 (tomo 10556 and later tomo 39885), sección 8 |
| Registered address | Calle Núñez Morgado 6, bajo derecha, 28036 Madrid, according to einforma (last updated 4 September 2026) and infonif. The website and privacy policy give Paseo de la Castellana 230, 28046 Madrid as the head office and registered address. The directory could not reconcile the two in the BORME entries it reviewed. The Barcelona office is at Calle Balmes 177, 3º 2ª, 08006. |
| Incorporation | Incorporated on 19 January 1996 (empresia, infonif). The website claims '30 años' and '+30 años' of experience. A 1993 founding date cited in earlier directory material is unverified. |
| Share capital | EUR 970,375.45 since a capital reduction of EUR 95,249.18, registered 23 November 2022 (BORME, 30 November 2022). Capital was previously EUR 1,065,624.63. |
| Directors and ownership | Luis Guerra Carbajo has been administrador único since 19 November 2019 and was re-elected on 1 October 2025 (BORME, 8 October 2025). Alberto Lucero Batalla, Álvaro Guerra Carbajo and Beatriz Pinto Pérez have been joint attorneys (apoderados solidarios) since 3 August 2022. einforma lists one shareholder and three participations. Senior staff named on the website: Silvia Muñoz (payroll), José Álvarez (accounting and tax), Sara Orgaz (corporate legal), Carmen Muñoz del Barrio (HR) and Inés Guerra (sales). |
| Company status | Active. Annual accounts have been filed up to 2025 (28 balance sheets on einforma). Activity is CNAE 6920 (accounting, bookkeeping, audit and tax advisory). Empresia reports 85 employees; the website claims 100+ specialists and 700+ client companies. ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certificates are published. |
| ETT authorisation | None claimed. The registered business purpose is advisory and mediation in legal, tax, labour and accounting matters, not temporary-work-agency activity. The directory could not query the Ministry of Labour's public ETT register, so this point is unverified. Under article 43 of the Estatuto de los Trabajadores, workers may be supplied to another company only through an authorised ETT. |
| Contracts and compliance | Employment contracts drafted under Spanish law and registered through Contrat@, Social Security registration, compliance with the applicable collective agreement (convenio colectivo), hires, leavers and changes, alerts for contract expiries and irregularities, and wage garnishments (embargos). The EOR page does not set out which contract types (indefinido or temporal) are offered. |
| Payroll and statutory | Monthly payroll with a SEPA payment file, IRPF withholding returns (modelos 111, 190, 216 and 296), Social Security filings (RLC and RNT) with reconciliation, and management of sick leave (IT), maternity and paternity. Reporting includes cost per employee, consolidated reports for a foreign parent, and accounting entries in the group's own format. |
| Immigration | Handles NAFF work authorisations for EU and non-EU nationals, both initial applications and renewals, plus international secondments (TA-300 form), multiple employment (pluriempleo) and special regimes (provider statements). |
| Onboarding time | '5-7 días laborables desde la firma del acuerdo' (5 to 7 working days from signing) and 'operativo en menos de una semana' (operational in under a week). Vasalto promises a reply within 24 hours and a proposal within 48 hours. These are provider claims. |
| Pricing | Not published. The FAQ describes a monthly fee per employee covering payroll, compliance and administration, set in a tailored proposal, with hourly or fixed rates for extras. No setup fee or deposit is published. |
Services in Spain
| Employer of Record in Spain | Vasalto Tech and Talent, S.A. hires the employee and takes legal employer responsibility while the client directs daily work. The service covers Social Security registration, contracts under Spanish law registered in Contrat@, collective-agreement compliance and personnel administration. Vasalto claims 5,900 EOR payrolls a month, 900 hires and leavers a year and onboarding in 5 to 7 working days. The firm does not claim ETT status, so the legal basis for supplying staff should be confirmed in the contract. |
| Payroll outsourcing | Monthly payroll for companies with their own Spanish entity. Vasalto claims more than 30,000 payrolls processed a month across 50+ sectors, with IRPF returns (111, 190, 216, 296), Social Security RLC and RNT filings, SEPA payment files, sick-leave and parental-leave management and wage garnishments. It works with Integrho, Sage, Wolters Kluwer and Holded, and is a preferred partner of Factorial, Bedoott and Personio. |
| Immigration and mobility | Processes NAFF work authorisations for EU and non-EU nationals, including renewals, and handles international secondment paperwork (TA-300), pluriempleo and special Social Security regimes. This makes it relevant to foreign employers relocating staff to Spain. |
| Accounting and tax | Outsourced accounting and tax compliance. Vasalto claims 260,000 accounting entries a month, 1,000 annual accounts and 1,000 quarterly tax returns, and 325 corporate income tax returns in 2023. Consolidated reporting and accounting entries can be produced in a foreign parent's format. |
| Legal advisory | Labour, civil and corporate legal advice under ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 procedures. The firm claims a 95% success rate in court cases it has handled (provider claim). This supports dismissals, disputes and company-secretarial work. |
| Market entry support | Support for foreign companies setting up in Spain, from legal formalities to tax and labour set-up. Clients can move from EOR to their own Spanish entity while keeping the same payroll and accounting team. |
Strengths and watch-outs in Spain
- ✓ Employs through its own long-established Spanish company. Vasalto Tech and Talent, S.A. can be checked in the Madrid commercial register (hoja M-167452, incorporated 1996, share capital about EUR 970,000), and its sole administrator is also the Director General.
- ✓ A large in-house Spanish payroll operation: it claims 30,000+ payrolls a month overall and 5,900 under its EOR model, with detailed handling of IRPF, Social Security filings, Contrat@ and collective agreements.
- ✓ Covers immigration in-house, including NAFF work authorisations for EU and non-EU staff, renewals and TA-300 secondments, which many local EORs pass to third parties.
- ✓ Payroll, accounting, tax and legal advice come from one team, with bilingual Spanish/English service, a dedicated account manager and reporting for foreign parent companies. This also eases a later move to a client's own Spanish entity.
- ✓ Quotes a short onboarding time of 5 to 7 working days from signing, and publishes ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certificates.
- ✗ Vasalto does not claim ETT (temporary-work agency) authorisation, and its registered business purpose is advisory. Spanish law generally restricts supplying workers to authorised ETTs, so the legal structure of the EOR arrangement should be confirmed before signing.
- ✗ Pricing is not published: the EOR fee, any setup fee and any deposit are set only in a tailored proposal.
- ✗ Its registered details differ between sources: databases show Calle Núñez Morgado 6 as the registered address while its own site gives Paseo de la Castellana 230, and several databases still show the superseded NIF B81362881.
- ✗ It operates in Spain only and presents itself mainly as an advisory firm, so it suits Spain-only hiring rather than multi-country programmes.
- ✗ No independent client reviews were found on G2, Capterra or Trustpilot. The only public review profile found (GoWork) has 4 ratings and is mostly employee commentary.
