Learn more →Introduced in 2005 and reformed in 2023 to include digital nomads and remote workers, the Special Tax Regime for Inbound Workers — popularly known as the Beckham Law — can transform the economics of relocating to Spain.
For up to six tax years, qualifying applicants are taxed at a flat 24% on Spanish employment income up to €600,000, exempted from wealth tax on most foreign assets, and excluded from declaring foreign-source income that would otherwise be taxed under standard residency.
Eligibility is narrow and the application window unforgiving: missing the six-month deadline permanently forfeits the regime for that relocation.

If you are a Spanish tax resident with more than €50,000 in foreign bank accounts, securities, or real estate, you must file Modelo 720 between January and 31 March each year. The form is unforgiving, the penalties — even after the Court of Justice of the EU struck down the harshest sanctions — remain serious.
We file Modelo 720 for hundreds of clients each season, defend assessments against Hacienda, and assess the proportionality of any retrospective sanctions under the current regime.
The three categories — accounts, securities and real estate — are independent: you must declare each that exceeds €50,000 even if the others do not. New filings are only required when balances grow by €20,000 over the last reported figure.
Full Modelo 720 guideMost of the expensive errors we are asked to fix were avoidable. These are the ones we see most often when clients come to us after the fact.
It does not. Physical presence in Spain for more than 183 days triggers tax residency regardless of immigration category.
The application must be filed within six months of registering with Social Security. Miss it and the regime is lost for that relocation.
Penalties can still be significant despite the EU court ruling. Late voluntary filings remain materially cheaper than waiting for inspection.
Where you register matters. The same net worth can mean zero wealth tax in Madrid and tens of thousands elsewhere.
UK pensions, US dividends, dual-residency disputes — treaty tie-breaker rules often produce dramatically better outcomes than domestic law alone.
Non-resident capital gains on Spanish real estate carry a 3% withholding plus 19% tax, with strict timing rules to recover any overpayment.
