About the service

What is the Tax Planning in Spain?

Effective tax planning in Spain is the difference between simply paying taxes and strategically managing your wealth. It’s about anticipating, not just reacting. Our goal is to design a personalized strategy that aligns with your personal and business objectives while ensuring full legal compliance.

Understanding your tax residency status is the first and most critical step. If you spend more than 183 days a year in Spain, you are generally considered a tax resident, liable for tax on your worldwide income.

We analyze your situation to create the most efficient structure possible.

We specialize in Personal Income Tax (IRPF), a progressive tax with rates that can reach over 47%. We identify all possible deductions, allowances, and special regimes, such as the famous Beckham Law, to significantly reduce your tax burden.

For business owners, we design optimal corporate structures. We analyze whether it’s better to operate as a sole trader (autónomo) or through a company (S.L.), managing Corporate Income Tax and dividend distribution strategies to maximize your net profits.

Spain also has a Wealth Tax (Impuesto sobre el Patrimonio). Proactive planning before you become a tax resident is essential to legally mitigate its impact on your global assets.

Inheritance and Gift Tax is another critical area. This tax is managed by the autonomous regions, with huge variations in rates. We help you structure your assets to ensure a smooth and tax-efficient transfer to your heirs.

We also have deep expertise in international tax planning. We navigate the network of double taxation treaties to ensure you never pay tax twice on the same income, optimizing your cross-border investments and income streams.

Our service provides you with more than just advice. We deliver a comprehensive, actionable plan that gives you peace of mind and financial clarity, allowing you to enjoy your life in Spain without worrying about the taxman.

 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 Tax Planning in Spain

When do I become a tax resident in Spain?

You become a tax resident if you spend more than 183 days in a calendar year in Spain, or if your main center of economic or vital interests (e.g., your family) is in Spain. The 183 days do not need to be consecutive.

Do I have to pay tax on my foreign pension in Spain?

Yes. If you are a tax resident in Spain, your worldwide income is subject to Spanish IRPF. This includes pensions from other countries, although double taxation treaties may offer specific reliefs or credits.

Is the Beckham Law always the best option?

While it is highly beneficial for high earners with significant foreign income, for individuals with lower salaries or those who want to access certain deductions (e.g., for joint tax returns), the standard regime might be more advantageous. A personalized analysis is crucial.

What is Wealth Tax and do I have to pay it?

Wealth Tax is a tax on your net assets (property, savings, investments) above a certain threshold. There is a national exemption of €700,000, plus €300,000 for your main home, but regions can modify this. Tax residents are taxed on their worldwide assets.

Why is tax planning before moving to Spain so important?

Because many tax planning strategies, especially for Wealth and Inheritance Tax, are only effective if implemented before you become a tax resident. Once you are a tax resident, your options to legally optimize become much more limited.
