IGI, explained in plain language

The General Indirect Tax is Andorra’s consumption tax. Its mechanics resemble VAT, but the rates and rules differ—and that is precisely where software designed for another country fails.

How often you must file

You do not choose the filing frequency: it is determined by turnover in the immediately preceding year and changes when turnover moves into another band. Identifying your band comes first because it determines the year’s filing calendar.

Turnover bands

Turnover bandsHow often you must fileWhat it means
Below €250,000Semi-annualTwo returns a year. This is the band for most sole traders and small companies.
€250,000 to below €3,600,000QuarterlyFour returns a year for entities within this turnover band.
€3,600,000 or moreMonthlyTwelve returns a year, with the corresponding effect on the pace of the accounting close.
The thresholds and band assignment are set by current law, and moving between bands has its own entry and exit rules. Check your case against the official source before planning the year.

The current turnover bands and filing frequencies are determined by Govern d'Andorra — Departament de Tributs i de Fronteres

How IGI is settled

For each period, you report output IGI on issued invoices and deduct eligible input IGI on purchases and expenses related to the activity. The difference is payable or carried forward. For this calculation to be reliable, every document line needs the correct rate from the start.
