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.
"Spain is not just a backdrop for your business — it is a gateway. From Madrid, you can reach 500 million EU consumers. From Barcelona, the whole of the Mediterranean basin. The visa is the key; the opportunity is limitless."
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.
