Andorra as a destination for Creator

Andorra levies an income tax of no more than 10 percent, the first income components are tax-free, and a reduced rate applies to partial amounts. Companies also pay a maximum of 10 percent. For the move, there is an active residence that requires an activity in Andorra, often through a company of its own, and a passive residence with investment requirements and limited employment.

From a German point of view, Andorra is regularly considered a low-tax country. We check on a case-by-case basis whether and how an agreement applies. This means that exit tax and extended limited tax liability are to be checked. The information on foreign law gives a general overview, as of November 2026. For the implementation, we work together with partner law firms on site.

For whom this is eligible

  • Streamers and creators who work location-independent.
  • Entrepreneurs building a company with substance on site.
  • Creator who appreciate mountain life and proximity to Spain and France.

Tax and legal key points

Active Residence

Prerequisites are an activity in Andorra and a stay of more than 183 days a year. Many creators set up an Andorran society for this.

Passive residence

It requires investments and a minimum stay and only allows limited employment.

German side

Move tax, extended limited tax liability and clear separation of German companies.

Practical examples: typical scenarios

We regularly meet the following scenarios in the consultation. They are anonymized and simplified and show how such cases are typically classified. They do not describe any specific mandates and do not promise a specific result.

Case 1

Streamer with Andorran Society

Situation: A streamer moves to Andorra and founds a society there.

Legal assessment: The company needs substance on site, and the German GmbH must be ordered.

Our approach: We plan the withdrawal tax, the liquidation or transfer of the GmbH and the contracts.

Case 2

Passive residence with cooperations

Situation: An influencer wants to use the passive residence and continue to make brand deals.

Legal assessment: The passive residence allows only limited activity.

Our approach: We recommend an active residence and accompany the founding.

Case 3

Extended tax liability

Situation: A creator continues to generate income from a German property and German license agreements.

Legal assessment: These may be subject to extended limited tax liability.

Our approach: We arrange the income and optimize the structure.
