FAQs

How is tax residency in Spain determined for individuals?

Tax residency uses the 183-day rule, Spain’s main economic interests, and a legal assumption for spouses and/or minor children. Meeting these conditions can make a person a Spanish tax resident.

What are the main taxes owed by Spanish tax residents versus non-residents?

Residents are taxed on worldwide income and assets for Personal Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Wealth Tax, Solidarity tax on wealth, and Inheritance Tax. Non-residents are taxed mainly on Spanish-source income/assets and may not be subject to the same scope (e.g., Informative tax return 720 is shown as cancelled in the notes).

What is the Beckham Law and who can benefit from it?

The Beckham Law is a special tax regime for individuals moving to Spain who were not Spanish tax residents in the prior 5 years. It applies for 1 year plus an additional 5 years, with a flat tax approach and specific rules on which income is taxed in Spain.
