About the service

What is the Beckham Law in Spain?

Imagine keeping more of your hard-earned salary while enjoying life in Spain. The Beckham Law makes this possible. Officially known as the Special Tax Regime for Workers Displaced to Spanish Territory, it is the most powerful tax optimization tool for foreign professionals moving to Spain.

Its main and most famous benefit is the flat 24% tax rate on your Spanish-sourced income up to €600,000. This is a massive advantage compared to the standard progressive rates, which can go up to 47%.

But the benefits don’t stop there. Under this regime, your foreign-source income (such as dividends or capital gains from abroad) is not taxed in Spain. Furthermore, you are only liable for Wealth Tax on your Spanish assets, not your worldwide assets.

Thanks to the Startup Law, the eligibility criteria have been expanded. This regime is now open to a wider range of talent, including relocated employees, company directors, highly skilled professionals, digital nomads, and innovative entrepreneurs.

The two most important requirements are that you must not have been a tax resident in Spain for the five years prior to your move and that you apply within a strict deadline.

The application is a time-sensitive, one-time opportunity. You must submit Form 149 to the Spanish Tax Agency within 6 months of officially starting your professional activity. Missing this non-extendable deadline means you lose the right to this benefit forever.

Our expertise is in navigating the complexities of the impatriate tax regime. We conduct a thorough eligibility analysis, prepare and submit your application flawlessly, and ensure you secure these incredible tax advantages, making your move to Spain as financially rewarding as possible.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience working with Dario and his team throughout my visa process. They made everything completely stress-free and were incredibly helpful every step of the way. Dario speaks excellent English, which made communication easy and comfortable, and he was always responsive, patient, and clear in explaining everything. He and his colleagues handled every detail with care, efficiency, and in a very timely manner, which gave me a lot of confidence and truly made my life so much easier throughout the entire process. By far the best lawyer I’ve worked with in Barcelona. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Dario and his team to anyone needing help with visas or immigration.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A friend recommended Illay Legal  to help obtain my permanent residency in Spain. Exceptional service! Marc explained every part of the process clearly and precisely. Once I provided all the necessary details, the team did all the work: pre-completed the necessary paperwork, helped retrieve padron and digital tax certificate, secured appointments in my preferred neighbourhood and checked in with me before and after both appointments. I subsequently switched both my tax and business accountancy contracts to Marc's firm and have enjoyed the same very high level of service. Communication via email and WhatsApp, and extremely responsive to answering any small or large questions/concerns. A huge endorsement to the whole team - I would highly reccomend. Regards Ismail

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lawyers I truly trust and genuinely enjoy working with. Huge thanks to Marc and Soundous for guiding me through a very stressful documentation process over the past few years. Together we managed to resolve a complicated situation I ended up in because of a bureaucratic issue with my previous paperwork. They have well-organized processes and a lot of experience with different kinds of cases — even the tricky ones. Whenever I was stressed or freaking out, they were always there to reassure and support me. That human approach means a lot. With them, you are in very good hands 💚

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the Beckham Law in Spain

How much money can I actually save with the Beckham Law?

The savings are substantial. For example, on a €100,000 salary, you would pay a flat €24,000 in taxes. Under the standard progressive regime, your tax bill would be closer to €37,000, meaning you save around €13,000 per year.

What happens if I miss the 6-month application deadline?

If you miss the deadline, you lose the right to apply for the Beckham Law forever. You will be considered a standard tax resident and will have to pay taxes at the much higher progressive rates on your worldwide income.

What happens after the 6 years of the regime are over?

Once the 6-year period (the year of arrival + 5 additional years) is complete, you will automatically become a standard tax resident in Spain. This means you will start paying taxes under the progressive IRPF rates on your worldwide income.

Is my foreign rental income or crypto gains taxed under this law?

No. As long as that income is generated outside of Spain, it is not taxed in Spain while you are under the Beckham Law regime. You only pay tax on income generated within Spain.
