A roadmap, not a one-size-fits-all answer

See your options before choosing a route.

Our strategy work compares feasible scenarios: the tax implications, practical changes, evidence, costs and sequence each would involve.

What we examine

Your role, company management, remuneration and activity after the move.

What we compare

Keeping the existing structure, changing how it operates or considering a Spanish setup.

What you take away

A reasoned recommendation, the changes it requires and an implementation sequence.

Client story · Philippines → Spain

A structure built for the move.
Tested two years later.

A business owner wanted to relocate to Spain and apply for the Beckham regime while retaining a company in the Philippines.

The challenge was to align the relocation with a genuine qualifying arrangement and change how the business was managed in practice.

  1. Relocation strategy. We designed and documented the arrangements supporting the required causal connection with the move.
  2. Real operational changes. A team was appointed in the Philippines and the client stepped back from business decision-making, addressing the risks associated with operating the company from Spain.
  3. Implementation. We registered the foreign employer for Spanish Social Security and coordinated the application.

Application accepted. Worldwide income protected under the regime.

With the Beckham regime in place, the client's income outside Spain was not taxed under Spain's general rules for the qualifying years. Two years later, a tax inspection examined the underlying structure and did not find simulation in the arrangements reviewed.

Anonymised client matter. The outcome relates to the facts and scope of that review; it is not a guarantee for another structure.

Discuss the practical requirements of my case ↗

In both cases, the outcome depended on getting advice before relocating to Spain, not after arrival. Planning ahead is what made a lawful, defensible structure possible.

What other lawyers and advisers say.

Independent colleagues we work alongside on cross-border matters, sharing their own view of working with Jorge and Law Cappital.

“We worked with Jorge on wealth and tax planning for clients in Cantabria. He helped us optimise the tax treatment of the property sale and reviewed the transaction to rule out any tax contingencies.”

Macarena S.R.R.Director, AESYR & Abogados

“I have worked with Jorge for more than 7 years. What stands out is his international outlook and his versatility, adapting not only to tax matters but to other areas of law as well.”

Javier Postigo AguadoPartner, Postigo - Pino

“As a criminal defence lawyer, whenever one of my cases involves an immigration issue, we bring in Law Cappital, led by Jorge Lacasa, and they always find the best possible solution. They have already won six appeals for clients whose residence permit was initially refused.”

Before you get in touch

Questions worth asking.

Can you advise me before I decide whether to move?

Yes. A planning engagement can compare scenarios before you commit to a move, company arrangement or residence application.

Can you help if I have already moved?

Yes. Tell us your arrival and activity start dates first, so we can identify any immediate deadlines and define the review needed.

Do I need a full strategy engagement for a single tax filing?

Not necessarily. We scope the work to the question. Where connected issues need a wider review, we explain why and quote for it separately.

Do you guarantee Beckham Law or visa approval?

No. We assess the available route, prepare the supporting case and explain the risks. Any approval-linked fee arrangement is governed by the written engagement terms.
