According to Spanish tax law, all payments to employees lacking documentation will be considered salary and therefor taxed as salary.

You can avoid that by sending us receipts for your expenses. It doesn’t really matter to us what these receipts say as long as they are related to something you did that day (or in between the FROM and TO dates you were filming). This can be:

• Meals
• Tickets
• Transportation
• Props
• etc…

How much can I get reimbursed?

The maximum you can receive for an ACE video is 50 euros — either as reimbursement, as salary, or a mix of both.

• A single receipt over 50 euros cannot be reimbursed at all, because it’s above the cap.
• If you submit multiple receipts, we can reimburse a combination of them up to 50 euros.
• If your receipts are less than 50 euros, the rest will be paid out as a salary bonus (and taxed).

Examples:

• If you submit one receipt for 49€ and another for 2€, we reimburse the 49€, but not the 2€, since that would exceed the cap.
• If you submit receipts for 30€ and 15€, we reimburse 45€, and the remaining 5€ is paid as salary.

What type of receipts do I need to submit?

To qualify as reimbursement, you must submit two things for each expense:

1. The purchase receipt (from the restaurant, café, shop, etc.).
2. The bank slip (the receipt from the card terminal showing you paid by card).

Both are required — a purchase receipt alone is not enough. Cash payments cannot be reimbursed.

What happens if I don’t submit receipts?

If you don’t submit receipts, your ACE payment will automatically be treated as salary and taxed as normal income. You will still receive the full 50 euros, but it won’t be tax-free.
