Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you want to give up the restaurant in Moraira and moreover, why in this fashion?
I am going to turn 60 this July. I would like to return to Italy after spending almost 10 years in Spain. I intend to open a restaurant in Italy in the year 2010.
Nowadays, it is not possible to maintain a reasonable price for the restaurant as well as get a good return on investment at the same time. Therefore, I have decided to do this. This is a good chance for young people to not only become entrepreneurs by acquiring their own restaurant but also creatively carry out their business.
How does the transfer of the organisation take place and who bears the costs?
At the notary public. You will become 100% owner-manager of the private limited company. All costs incurred will be borne by the current owner. For this purpose, you would need a Spanish tax ID (NIF). We'll take care of this together with you.
Should taxes be paid, if I make profits?
No.
Does Pastahouse Italia GMBH have financial obligations?
No, at the time of business transfer, you will receive a balance of accounts that is verified by an auditor. Existing workforce will be made redundant by cancelling the work contracts.
Managing Director of a private limited company in Spain
You will be an entrepreneur as well as manage the business affairs of the private limited company all by yourself. Mandatory insurance (pension insurance fund and medical insurance): approx. 270, - Euros per month.
Risk
There is no risk for a whole year, since the rent of the restaurant has already been paid. If you continue to run the restaurant as well as it is being managed now, you will see many positive results, even from a financial perspective.

Is the free lottery drawing legal?
The present case is a one-time lottery drawing organised by the owner. Thus, the drawing is limited to a single property. It does not represent a sustained effort for the generation of profits. Therefore, it does not violate the Austrian gambling laws and the associated monopoly legislation.
