Why Choose Our Service
Spanish tax is where good
Spanish tax is where good intentions become expensive mistakes. Becoming a tax resident without planning, missing the Beckham Law window, or overlooking the Modelo 720 foreign-asset declaration can cost far more than the advice would have. We set your position up correctly from day one and keep it compliant year after year.
We advise on tax residency
We advise on tax residency and the 183-day rule, the special expat regime (Beckham Law) for eligible new arrivals, non-resident income tax (IRNR) and Modelo 210, resident IRPF, wealth tax and the solidarity levy, and autónomo registration for freelancers — all coordinated with your immigration and property matters.
Are you a Spanish tax resident?
Broadly, 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 here. Residency changes everything — residents are taxed on worldwide income, non-residents only on Spanish-source income. We assess your status precisely, because guessing is what triggers problems.
The Beckham Law: a window you can miss
Spain’s special regime for inbound workers — the Beckham Law — lets many eligible new arrivals be taxed on a favourable basis for a fixed number of years, with a flat rate on employment income up to a high threshold and foreign income largely outside scope. Eligibility is strict and there is a short application deadline after you register, so it must be assessed early.
Modelo 720: the declaration people forget
Residents with assets abroad above certain thresholds must report them on the Modelo 720 (and Modelo 721 for crypto). Getting this filed correctly and on time avoids serious headaches. We calendar it alongside your annual returns.
Freelancers and treaties
If you work for yourself we handle autónomo registration and quarterly filings, and we use Spain’s wide network of double-taxation treaties so the same income isn’t taxed twice.
