Tax matters, handled with precision.
Spain’s tax system is complex, layered, and frequently misunderstood — particularly for international residents, high earners, and those navigating dual residency. We provide clear, expert advice so you know exactly where you stand.
Why it matters
Whether you are relocating to Mallorca, already resident, or managing assets across multiple jurisdictions, the tax implications are significant. Missing a filing deadline, misunderstanding residency rules, or overlooking an available regime can be costly. Our team combines deep Spanish tax law expertise with a practical understanding of the international contexts our clients come from.
The Beckham Law — Special Tax Regime
One of Spain’s most valuable fiscal instruments for incoming professionals. This regime allows qualifying individuals to be taxed as non-residents for up to six years — even while living in Spain — offering a flat 24% rate on Spanish income, exemption on most foreign income, and no Spanish tax on foreign capital gains. The application must be submitted within six months of registering with the Spanish authorities, making early advice essential.
Spanish Tax Residency Advice
Understanding when and how you become a Spanish tax resident — and what that means for your obligations — is essential before and after your move. We advise on the 183-day rule, the centre-of-economic-interests test, and dual residency situations. This is particularly relevant for UK nationals, whose April–April tax year creates an overlap with Spain’s January–December fiscal calendar, often leaving individuals uncertain about where and when to file.
Specialist Visa Services
The right visa is often the foundation of a sound tax strategy. We advise on and manage applications for the Digital Nomad Visa (DNV), the Non-Lucrative Visa (NLV), and the Highly Qualified Professionals Visa — each carrying distinct tax and residency implications that require a tailored legal approach beyond the standard immigration process.
Ongoing Tax Filings & Compliance
We manage your annual and periodic filings so nothing is missed and no deadlines are exceeded. This includes income tax (Modelo 100), wealth tax (Modelo 714), the foreign asset declaration (Modelo 720), and non-resident income tax (Modelo 210) for those who own property in Spain without being resident.
Wealth Structuring & Inheritance Planning
For high-net-worth individuals, efficient structuring of assets across property, investments, and business interests is essential both during life and in planning for succession. We advise on Spanish inheritance tax, Balearic Islands exemptions, and cross-border estate planning, coordinating with advisors in other jurisdictions where required.
Business Setup & Entrepreneur Support
Whether you are setting up as an autónomo, incorporating a Spanish limited company (SL), or considering another structure, we advise on the right legal and tax framework based on your activity, income level, and long-term plans — going well beyond the introductory gestor meeting to provide thorough setup and ongoing planning.
International Tax Advisory
For those residing in Spain while holding assets, income, or interests abroad — including foreign pensions, trusts, shares in non-Spanish companies, or rental income from overseas property — we review the full international tax picture and ensure your position is correctly reported and structured under Spanish law and applicable tax treaties.
