Reduce Your Spanish Income Tax Under the Beckham Law

Do I still need to file taxes every year?

Yes. Annual tax returns and compliance are mandatory. Missing deadlines or incorrect filings can result in penalties of 50-150% of underpaid tax or regime revocation with retroactive effect.

Can I lose the Beckham Law once approved?

Yes. The regime can be revoked if you breach conditions. Common causes:

• Changing employment structure incorrectly (switching to self-employment or creating a permanent establishment)
• Missing annual tax filings or filing with errors
• Failing residency requirements (<183 days in Spain)
• Misreporting foreign income

Can my family join me in Spain under the Beckham Law?

Yes. Your spouse and children can relocate through family reunification or dependent residence permits, depending on your visa type. The Beckham Law tax benefits apply only to you. Family members are taxed under standard Spanish rules unless they independently qualify.

Do I need private health insurance under the Beckham Law?

Yes, for Spanish residency, not Beckham Law itself. You need comprehensive coverage with no copayments. Once employed, Spanish Social Security coverage typically satisfies this. Before employment begins, you'll need compliant private insurance.
