Our verification method

Where does our information come from?

From an official text that we have read: a legal rule, a rate, a threshold or a date is presented as fact on Andorre Fiscal only on that condition. Depending on the subject, these texts come from four groups of sources:

• Andorran law: laws and decrees, read in the BOPA, the official gazette, and in their consolidated version on the Portal jurídic d’Andorra;
• Andorran public bodies: the CASS for contributions and the minimum wage, the Govern for its press releases and its online procedures (e-tràmits), the Departament d’Estadística for population and prices;
• French law: Légifrance for the tax treaty and the texts published in the Official Journal, impots.gouv.fr, Service-public and the reports of the French Senate;
• European and international institutions: European Commission, EUR-Lex, European Parliament, OECD.

We always favour the source closest to the rule: the law rather than the page that summarises it, the decree rather than the press article that announces it. The full list, with the role of each body, is on our Official sources page.

Why the BOPA prevails over the Portal jurídic

The consolidated versions on the Portal jurídic d’Andorra have no official value, and the portal says so itself. Yet it is a very useful public service: it presents each law with its successive amendments incorporated, which saves you from having to reconstruct for yourself a text amended ten times.

We therefore read the consolidated version to understand the state of the law, then go back to the BOPA when a reform is recent or a point is decisive. Llei 2/2026, which raised passive residency to €1,000,000, was thus read in BOPA No. 15 of 12 February 2026. Some texts, moreover, can only be found in the BOPA: this is the case for the immigration quota regulations, which we cite from the official gazette.

Three levels of confidence

Not all information is of equal value. Before publishing, we classify each piece of information according to the quality of its source, and the way it is written follows from that.

When medium-level information is confirmed by an official text, its status changes. The 2026 immigration quotas, first known through the press, are thus presented on the basis of the decrees published in the BOPA, as our news article Immigration quotas 2026 shows.

Dates on every page

Andorran law changes quickly: passive residency went from €600,000 to €1,000,000 in February 2026, the minimum wage was raised in July 2026, and quotas are set by decree several times a year. Undated information can therefore be misleading.

• Every guide shows its verification date (“Verified on…”), at the top of the page and in the closing box: on that date, the figures were checked against the texts cited.
• Amounts revised every year (minimum wage, average salary used by the CASS, quotas, population) always come with their year.

When a new text changes a rule, the pages concerned are reviewed and their verification date is updated. Former amounts may still be mentioned, but as history, clearly dated.

How we date a news article

A news article carries up to three dates, each with its own role:

• “Published on”: the day the article was first put online;
• “Updated on”: the day it was last modified, shown only if the article has been revised since it was published;
• the date of the event reported, for example “Quota approved on 7 October 2026”: the passing of a law, the publication of a decree in the BOPA, a Govern press release.

Search engines and our Atom news feed receive exactly the same dates as those shown on the page.

Our calculations are flagged

When a figure results from our own calculation, it carries the words “indicative calculation”, with the method in one sentence. This is the case for useful amounts that no text gives as such but that can be derived from an official rule.

The site’s tools follow the same rule: the tax calculator and the France⁠–⁠Andorra comparison tool show their assumptions. Their results are estimates, not tax assessments.

When the rule is uncertain, we say so

On some subjects, the texts leave room for interpretation, or the authorities have not published a position. Rather than settle the question in their place, we flag the uncertainty and recommend consulting a professional. This is the case, for example, with the effect of certain clauses of the France⁠–⁠Andorra tax treaty on lightly taxed pensions, or with the practical arrangements for an investment in the Fons d’Habitatge, which the published texts do not set out in detail.

For the same reason, we do not use wording that promises a result, such as paying no tax at all or a saving quantified in advance, and we do not call Andorra a “tax haven”: as at 10 October 2026, it does not appear on any official list of non-cooperative jurisdictions.

Reporting an error: how we make corrections

Despite these precautions, an error or outdated information is still possible. If you spot one, write to us from the Contact page, giving the address of the page and, if possible, the up-to-date official source.

1. 1

   Verification

   The report is checked against the official text in force, never against another web page.

2. 2

   Correction

   If the error is confirmed, the page is corrected, as are the other pages that repeat the same information.

3. 3

   New date

   The page’s verification date is updated, so that you know when the figures were last checked.

Corrections log

Corrections that change the meaning of a piece of information are listed here, with their date, the pages concerned and the source that justifies them.

• 11 October 2026, rents. Our pages Renting a home, Cost of living, Where to live: the 7 parishes and the Living in Andorra section stated that no official rent statistics were published. This was inaccurate: the Departament d’Estadística publishes the average rent paid by households (note A062 of 3 February 2026: €9.5/m² a month in 2024). This figure is now cited; there is no breakdown by parish.
• 11 October 2026, company accounting. Our guide Accounting and obligations referred to the 2022 general accounting plan. That plan has been replaced by the general accounting plan of Decree 479/2025 of 23 December 2025, applicable to financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2025; the page now cites this decree.

Who writes and checks our pages?

The Andorre Fiscal editorial team writes every guide and every news article, then checks the figures according to this method, under the responsibility of the site’s publisher. This is the team referred to by the credit “By the Andorre Fiscal editorial team” at the top of news articles. The site claims neither a team of experts nor professional titles: the reliability of a page rests on the texts it cites, which anyone can open from the list of sources at the end of the page. The publisher, its status and the way an article is prepared are presented on our page who writes and publishes Andorre Fiscal.

What the site does not do

The site does not review personal situations, does not answer requests for advice and does not recommend any professional by name: it publishes general information, up to date as at the date shown.

The choice of a residency status, a company structure or a departure date involves large sums: have your case reviewed by a lawyer, a tax adviser or a gestoria, in France as well as in Andorra. Our guides help you prepare for these discussions and ask the right questions.
