Spanish term

...fijan el domicilio social, legal y fiscal...

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s)
Hi everyone:

I wanted to know if there's an equivalent for this sentence in English because listing each of the domiciles just looks wrong.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you for the context Brava! You have redeemed yourself, by figuring out how useful the context was, after all. Yes, the hardest part for forum newcomers is to develop the ability to put oneself in the responders' shoes. I often use the metaphor "flying blind" to make this point. The asker has a document that is somewhat complete and makes sense (In most cases, of course. I know that sometimes it doesn't). However, the willing responders know only what the asker reveals.Saudações!

Could I say "Corporate, legal and fiscal (or tax) domicile"?
Lina Villegas (asker) Aug 29, 2011:
Ahh, OK, they're establishing a new company.
Lina Villegas (asker) Aug 29, 2011:
Hi coolbrowne: The context really doesn't seem to help the sentence but here it goes:
"Que a los efectos de lo dispuesto por el art. 11 inc. 2 de la Ley 19.550 (t.o. 1984) y su modificatoria Ley nacional 22.903 fijan el domicilio social, legal y fiscal en calle XXXX XXX.

Coolbrowne has a point - it could be establish if it's a new company, or elect if it's a contract.
coolbrowne Aug 29, 2011:
Context? But that is not a full sentence. One cannot translate in a vacuum (but one tends to guess...)

Thank you

establish social, legal and fiscal domicile

I don't think there is much option here.

IVC - Services - Legal & Fiscal Address

Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : I don't agree with "social" though - you could say something like "domicile for tax, legal and other purposes".

Thanks again, Phil! Corporate, then, maybe, as social is used in that sense.
disagree José Manuel Lozano : be careful, "social" is a false friend here

Spanish term (edited): fijan el domicilio social, legal y fiscal

establish the corporate domicile and the tax domicile

I started with "establish corporate and tax/fiscal domiciles" but that is a bad construction in legal English. One needs the definite article and then, it is better not to share "domicile" between "corporate" and "tax". Next "corporate domicile" is at once "domicilio social" and "domicilio legal". There is no difference in English. Finally, "fiscal domicile" does exist but it is less precise than "tax domicile". While the latter is defined as a specific address, the former may merely be a jurisdiction. Some less careful texts say "county" (thinking only of the United States, I imagine) but that does not cover all cases. There are a lot of places in the United States (cities, towns, boroughs, villages) which do not belong to any county. Two of the most famous are Baltimore (Maryland) and Alexandria (Virginia).
