Performances by foreign artists in Spain may be taxed

Temperory work carried out in Spain by self-employed persons or ‘free professionals’ living in another country and usually working in another country, may in principle not be taxed in Spain as long as there is no ‘fixed center’ (permanent workplace) in Spain.

However, there is an exception for artists:

Income and benefits from work carried out in Spain by foreign artists may be taxed in Spain according to the tax treaty between Spain and that other country.
