Personalised Expat Tax Advice in Spain

Spanish tax is more complex than most people expect, whether you are planning your move or already living here. Some decisions are hard to reverse once made, and others need attention every year you are resident. We help you understand your position and get you to the right specialist, so nothing important gets missed.

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.

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.
