Pay a flat 24% tax rate for 6 years instead of up to 47% under the general tax regime. We handle the entire process so you don’t miss the deadline or make irreversible mistakes.
The Beckham Law is the special regime under Article 93 of the Personal Income Tax Law (LIRPF) that allows workers transferred to Spain to be taxed as non-residents for the first 6 years.
This means a flat rate of 24% on income earned in Spain up to €600,000, instead of the progressive personal income tax scale that can reach 47%.
It is one of the most favorable tax regimes in Europe for international professionals. However, it has strict conditions, a non-extendable application deadline, and specific annual reporting requirements. Applying it incorrectly or failing to apply on time means losing a significant tax advantage for years.
The Beckham Act seems straightforward on paper, but in practice it involves several risks:
The program is available to anyone who meets the following conditions:
If you have questions about whether you meet the requirements, we’ll review them during your first consultation.
The difference between applying this tax regime correctly and applying it incorrectly can amount to tens of thousands of euros in taxes over a 6-year period.
We analyze your case before making any recommendations because there are situations where the general tax regime is the better option. If the Beckham Law is right for you, we handle the application, the annual tax return, and ongoing monitoring throughout the entire period so you don’t have to worry about deadlines or regulatory changes.
You focus on your life and work in Barcelona.
We make sure you pay exactly what you owe—no more, no less.
from the AEAT
How long do I have to apply for the Beckham Law once I arrive in Spain?
Six months from the start of your employment or business activity in Spain. This is the most critical deadline in the process, and there are no exceptions. If you are close to the deadline, please contact us as soon as possible.
Can I qualify for the Beckham Law if I am self-employed or a digital nomad?
Yes, since the 2023 reform. Self-employed individuals and digital nomads with clients primarily outside of Spain are eligible for the regime. We will analyze your case to confirm that you meet the specific requirements.
What happens to my income earned outside of Spain under this regime?
Under the Beckham Law, only income earned within Spanish territory is taxed in Spain, with some exceptions. Income from abroad is treated differently and must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.
Is the Beckham Law always worth it compared to the general tax regime? Not always. If you have significant family deductions, income from abroad, or a specific asset profile, the general tax regime may be more efficient. We compare the options before making any decision.
How long does it take for the AEAT to process the application?
Usually between 1 and 3 months from the submission of Form 149. We handle the entire process and keep you informed every step of the way.
Do you provide service in English?
Yes. We provide service in Spanish, English, and Catalan. Most of our clients are international, and we work in the language you feel most comfortable with.
