Frequently Asked Questions
The Beckham Law (Régimen Especial de Impatriados, Article 93 IRPF) allows qualifying new tax residents to pay a flat 24% rate on Spanish-source income (up to €600,000) for up to 6 tax years. You may qualify if: you haven't been a Spanish tax resident in the previous 5 years, you relocated to Spain for employment or to start a business, you're a digital nomad (DNV holders qualify since 2023). We check your eligibility in consultation.
You become a Spanish tax resident if you spend more than 183 days in Spain in a calendar year, OR your main economic interests are in Spain. Tax residency applies for the entire tax year — not just from day 184. This has significant implications for people who moved mid-year.
If you are a Spanish tax resident, Spain has the right to tax your worldwide income — including your UK salary. Whether the UK also taxes you depends on the UK-Spain double taxation treaty. In most cases, you'll pay Spanish income tax on your salary and offset UK taxes paid. We map out exactly what you owe and where in your consultation.
Model 720 is a declaration of overseas assets (bank accounts, investments, property) worth more than €50,000 per category. Spanish tax residents must file it by 31 March. Failure to declare can result in severe penalties. We advise on your specific situation and help you understand what needs to be declared.
It depends on your structure. If you have a UK Ltd and become a Spanish tax resident, there are complex considerations: CFC rules, transfer pricing, place of effective management. In many cases, restructuring makes sense. We map out your current situation and recommend the most tax-efficient approach.
