Beckham Law & ongoing tax compliance

We apply for Spain's special expat tax regime on your behalf and set you up with ongoing accounting and compliance support for your Spanish entity.

Tax advantage: The Beckham Law

Business owners who qualify can elect to be taxed as non-residents for up to 6 years, paying a flat 24% on Spanish-source income up to €600,000, rather than progressive rates up to 47%. For high earners relocating to Spain, this is one of the most favorable tax regimes in Europe.
