Speak to a Vetted Spanish Tax Expert

Spanish tax is more complex than most people expect, and the decisions you make before or shortly after you move can be difficult or impossible to reverse. Our vetted tax and accounting specialists give you clear, personalised tax help for your situation as an expat in Spain. We make the introduction, and they take it from there.

Why Your Spanish Tax Position Needs Specialist Advice

Timing your move and the sale of assets matters.
Selling property or disposing of investments at the wrong time, relative to your move to Spain, can trigger capital gains tax that could have been avoided. Once a transaction is completed, that outcome cannot be changed.

Some tax regimes are only available if you act at the right moment.
Spain offers specific provisions for new residents, including favorable rules for certain types of income, but only if the right conditions are met before or shortly after arrival. Without early advice, these windows close permanently.

Where you live in Spain affects your tax bill.
Spain’s 17 autonomous communities apply their own rates and allowances, particularly for wealth tax, inheritance tax, and regional deductions. Choosing where to live before understanding these differences can unnecessarily increase your long-term tax exposure.

Being a tax resident in Spain changes everything.
If you are already living in Spain, your worldwide income and assets are subject to Spanish tax rules. Annual filings, wealth declarations, and compliance obligations apply from your first year of tax residency. The longer these go unaddressed, the more complex they become.

Property Ownership Structures

Owning property in Spain through a company, whether Spanish or foreign, has specific tax and compliance implications. Your specialist can advise on the right structure and manage the ongoing obligations.

US, UK, and Double Taxation

Americans moving to Spain need to understand how FATCA, FBAR, and the US-Spain Double Taxation Treaty interact with Spanish residency rules. UK nationals face different but equally important considerations around pension income and capital gains. Our partners advise on both.

The Beckham Law

This law lets certain foreign nationals pay a flat 24% rate on Spanish-source income for up to six years, instead of being taxed on worldwide income at progressive rates. The catch: you must apply within six months of registering as a Spanish employee or starting a business here. Miss that window and it is gone. Our specialists will confirm whether you qualify and make sure your move is structured to support your eligibility.

Why Use Our Partners?

We vetted them before we recommended them.

Our tax and accounting partners were selected through a careful assessment process. We reviewed their qualifications, experience with international clients, and service standards before making a single introduction.

Expat specialists, not general accountants.

Our partners work with international clients every day. They understand the specific challenges of moving from the US, UK, or elsewhere, and they give advice grounded in real cross-border experience.

We stay accountable for the introduction.

If a partner we recommend falls short, we want to know, and we will act on it. Our long-term business depends on the quality of every partner in our network.

Frequently Asked Questions
