Spanish to English Bus/Financial Law: Taxation & Customs Certificate of Tax Regime
I need to add the entire sentence. I'm sorry it's so long but it's the entire phrase that I'm confused by, particularly the appearance of " la condicion de contribuyente" in the middle.

The entire section reads:

" se expide el presente certificado a los efectos de justificar ante las personas o entidades obligadas a retener la condicion de contribuyente del IRPF por este regimen especial de opcion de tributacion por el Impuesto sobre la Renta de no Residentes. "

I think I understand what it is saying, but I'd assume that the verb " retener' relates to the income tax ie the entities responsible for withholding tax, under the specific regime. I just don't understand how " retener la condicion" fits in.

Thank you

@abe(L) Now I understand why I have to pay the IRPF if my clients in Spain don't do so by the end of the tax year. I have a few that tend to pay the following year (special regime/ criterio de caja) and it sometimes causes me problems.

needs commas for clarity "this certificate is issued as evidence, before persons or entities required to withhold, of the [party's] status as a taxpayer under this optional special taxation regime under Non-Residents' Personal Income Tax."

Good morning Catherine, Take a look at this:
This certificate is issued to justifying to individuals or entities required to withhold the status of an Income Tax (IRPF) taxpayer under this special scheme of choosing to be taxed under the Non-Resident Income Tax.

I´m not 100% sure of Patinba's translation, but "condición de contribuyente" = "Tax payer status", indeed. See:

Dos. Nunca perderá su condición de contribuyente quien, según la Ley, deba soportar la carga tributaria, aunque realice su traslación a otras personas.

to withholding entities the status as a personal income tax payer

I think it is clearer if you pause after "retener".

to demonstrate to entities required to make withholdings the status as a personal income tax payer under the special regime
Note from asker:
thanks, I wondered if it was that, but wouldn't it need some more punctuation in that case? I know that source texts aren't always perfect, I was just genuinely confused and that's why I needed to include the whole sentence
oh, I see..I've only just now connected "justificar" with " la condicion...". I think it was the proximity of " condicion' to " retener" that was throwing me.
Peer comment(s):

agree Adrian MM. : the question could have been split/the ST repunctuated: justificar (show proof to)/ ante las personas o entidades obligadas a retener / la condicion de... Otherwise, withhold rather than retain. We'll leave for now the thorny issue of the mechanics.
