Step guide

Our Beckham Law Approach

01

Initial Consultation

We begin by understanding your personal and professional circumstances, the reasons for your relocation to Spain, your current tax residence, your expected activities in Spain and your international income and asset structure.
This initial assessment allows us to determine whether the Beckham Law may be available and identify the key legal and tax considerations that should be addressed before or during the relocation.

02

Eligibility & Tax Assessment

Our multidisciplinary team carries out a comprehensive review covering:

  • Previous tax residence
  • Circumstances of the relocation to Spain
  • Employment or professional relationship
  • Entrepreneurial activities
  • Company directorships
  • Remote working arrangements
  • Spanish tax residency
  • Domestic and foreign-source income
  • International assets and investments
  • Immigration and residency considerations
  • Applicable filing requirements and deadlines

This assessment enables us to determine eligibility for the special tax regime and identify potential tax, legal or compliance issues before the application is submitted.

03

Relocation & Tax Structuring Strategy

Based on our analysis, we prepare a tailored strategy covering:

  • Beckham Law eligibility
  • Timing of the relocation
  • Employment or professional structure
  • Corporate considerations
  • International tax planning
  • Income and asset structuring
  • Immigration coordination where required
  • Application strategy
  • Ongoing tax compliance

Our objective is to structure the relocation efficiently while ensuring that the client meets the applicable requirements of Spain’s special tax regime.

04

Application & Implementation

We coordinate the legal and tax implementation of the relocation and assist with the Beckham Law application process.

Depending on the circumstances, this may involve coordination with employers, companies, immigration professionals, tax authorities and other advisors to ensure that the relevant documentation, registrations and filings are completed correctly and within the applicable deadlines.

05

Ongoing Tax & Legal Advisory

Obtaining access to the Beckham Law is only one part of the process. Individuals benefiting from the regime remain subject to specific tax and reporting obligations throughout its application.

We provide ongoing legal and tax support to help clients maintain compliance, assess changes in their professional or personal circumstances and coordinate cross-border tax matters throughout their period of residence in Spain.
