CAREER
Andrea Alvarado is a Tax advisor in the VAT & Indirect Taxes department. Her work focuses on VAT management for non-resident companies operating in various European Union countries. Her main responsibilities include identifying VAT obligations, requesting VAT identification numbers (NIF/VAT), registering with the Register of Intra-Community Operators (ROI), preparing and filing periodic VAT returns, processing refunds through the special procedure for Form 369 (OSS/IOSS regime), and managing VAT refunds through the non-established VAT procedure (reclaims).
She began her professional career in 2022, after completing a Master's Degree in Taxation at the Carlos III University of Madrid. That same year, she completed her internship at Taxfix, a German company that offers a digital solution for filing tax returns, allowing taxpayers to complete their procedures easily, quickly, and without prior technical knowledge thanks to its automated platform.
In 2023, she continued her professional development by participating in the Personal Income Tax (IRPF) campaign with TaxDown, a Spanish platform specializing in tax return optimization, which intelligently applies all available tax deductions to maximize the taxpayer's results.
Subsequently, she joined Philip Morris International as a Tax Intern, where she had the opportunity to collaborate with the tax team at a large multinational company. During this experience, she worked on the preparation and review of tax returns, the analysis of national and international tax regulations, supporting tax audits, and coordinating with other areas to ensure compliance with the group's tax obligations.
