The economy of Novelda
Novelda has 26,606 inhabitants (INE, 2025) and 1,634 active companies. Industry provides the most jobs, ahead of retail and farming. Three sectors set it apart: spices and seasonings, which the town hall sees as one of its main drivers, with around 1,100 direct jobs and saffron as its emblem; natural stone, with the Mármol de Alicante association; and table grapes, within the «Vinalopó» bagged table grape PDO. Logistics distribution centres complete the picture.
What a business in Novelda usually needs
Imports and exports
Spices and marble trade abroad: EORI, import VAT (which can be deferred to the VAT return if you file monthly), VAT-exempt supplies to EU businesses with an intra-EU VAT number and Form 349, and Intrastat above its thresholds.
EORI and Intrastat →Table grapes and farming
Farmers can pay income tax under the module system, with the yield indices set each year by the modules order, and VAT under the special farming scheme: they charge no VAT and receive a flat-rate compensation from the buyer. Cooperatives and SATs have their own tax rules.
Company and annual accounts
Full bookkeeping, corporate tax, annual accounts filed at the Alicante Commercial Registry and when it pays to move from sole trader to company.
Sole trader or SL? →Shop and online store
VAT on every sale, Shopify, Amazon or Etsy reconciled with the bank, and OSS once sales to consumers in other EU countries exceed €10,000 a year.

Local taxes in Novelda
- Individuals (sole traders) do not pay the IAE business tax, nobody pays it in their first two years of activity, and neither do companies with a turnover below one million euros. Local IAE reliefs therefore only matter to companies above that figure.
- Companies that do pay IAE have reliefs in the bylaw for starting activity, renewable energy and creating permanent jobs.
- ICIO (building works tax): 3.52%. Up to 95% relief if the council declares the works of special interest for employment: a new establishment with 10 or more jobs.
- Urban property tax (IBI): 1.0117%, with up to 95% relief for activities of special interest or creating 5 or more jobs, processed through the Local Development Agency. The town hall has announced a 10% cut in the rate for 2027.
- Opening a shop of up to 250 m² with a responsible declaration carries no fee; notifying a harmless activity costs €104.
Business support and grants
As of October 2026 there is no municipal grant call for freelancers or businesses. The Local Development Agency and the Alto and Medio Vinalopó Employment Pact see people at L'Espai.
