Relocating to Spain as a UK or US professional?

What is the Beckham Law?

Spain's Beckham Law allows qualified professionals relocating to Spain to pay a flat 24% tax on Spanish employment income up to €600,000, instead of progressive rates of 19-47%, valid for 6 years from the year you become tax resident. Beyond income tax, the regime also limits wealth tax exposure and removes certain reporting obligations, with qualifying applicants saving €50,000 to €200,000+ over six years.

Also included in the regime:

  • Wealth tax applies only to assets held in Spain, not worldwide holdings
  • No obligation to file Form 720 for foreign assets over €50,000

Not sure if you qualify? Beckham Law eligibility depends on your employment situation, tax residency history, and timing of your move. Read our full Beckham Law Spain requirements guide to check every condition before you apply.

Why work with an advisor?

The Beckham Law rewards precision and punishes small mistakes. A missed six-month deadline, an incompatible company structure, or a rejected document can mean losing a benefit worth tens of thousands of euros, permanently, with no second chance.

  • Strict six-month application window, no extensions
  • US LLCs and UK LLPs carry specific structuring risk that needs assessment before you apply
  • Incomplete documentation can trigger additional scrutiny or rejection
  • The regime can be revoked in later years through filing errors or structural changes, this isn't a one-time application, it's six years of compliance.

Beckham Law FAQ's

Everything you need to know about eligibility, taxes, healthcare, and family relocation in Spain.

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.
