Residency
Moving to Spain on the Digital Nomad Visa changes where you pay tax. We explain when you become a Spanish tax resident, how the Beckham Law can cut your tax to 24% and how to avoid paying twice.
Collaborations & partners
Usually, yes. If you spend more than 183 days a year in Spain, or your main economic interests are here, you become a Spanish tax resident and pay tax on your worldwide income. The good news: as a new resident you may qualify for the Beckham Law.
Employees of foreign companies can often choose the Beckham Law and pay 24% on their salary.
Self-employed nomads pay income tax and register as autónomos, with quarterly returns.
Your partner and children can also benefit from the Beckham regime in some cases.

Book a tax consultationYou are a Spanish tax resident if you spend more than 183 days in Spain in a calendar year, or if your main business or economic interests are in Spain. If your spouse and minor children live in Spain, the law presumes you are resident too.
As a resident you pay Spanish income tax on your worldwide income. Non-residents only pay on income from Spanish sources.
Since 2023, remote workers who move to Spain — including Digital Nomad Visa holders — can opt for the special regime for inbound workers, known as the Beckham Law. You pay a flat 24% on your employment income up to €600,000 a year, and most foreign income that isn't from work is not taxed in Spain.
You must not have been a Spanish tax resident in the previous 5 years, and you must apply within 6 months of registering with Spanish Social Security. Read our full Beckham Law guide.
If you are self-employed, you register as an autónomo with the Tax Agency and Social Security, file quarterly returns and pay income tax on your profits. New autónomos can usually pay a reduced Social Security fee of €80 a month during the first year.
In most cases freelancers do not qualify for the Beckham regime, although some entrepreneurs do. We check your case before you register.
Spain has tax treaties with the US, the UK, Canada, Australia and many other countries. They decide which country can tax each type of income and let you deduct tax paid abroad.
US citizens keep filing US returns while living in Spain; the treaty and foreign tax credits help avoid paying twice. We coordinate with your adviser in your home country when needed.
The annual income tax return (Renta) is filed between April and the end of June for the previous year. Autónomos also file quarterly returns in April, July, October and January.
Beckham Law taxpayers file their own annual return (Form 151). Learn more in our guide to taxes for expats in Spain.
Our tax team works hand in hand with our immigration lawyers, so your visa and your taxes are planned together.
We review your income, your country and your plans.
We tell you which regime suits you and what it will cost.
We register you with the Tax Agency and Social Security, and apply for Beckham if eligible.
We file your annual and quarterly returns on time.
Missing the Beckham deadline means losing the regime, so we plan it from the day you register with Social Security.
