Spain Beckham Law

A managed Beckham Law plan before you opt into Spain's tax regime.

For inbound workers, executives, remote employees, founders, investors, and families moving to Spain who need eligibility, NIF and census readiness, Form 149 evidence, payroll withholding, and annual-compliance handoffs checked before opting into the regime.

First call: leave with eligibility questions, tax-residence history gaps, Form 149 evidence, payroll handoff points, family scope, and the next decision mapped.

What you get

A clear Beckham Law file plan before specialist work starts.

The regime is useful only when the facts line up. We structure the route, evidence, payroll questions, and tax-specialist handoff before the election becomes a rushed filing.

01

Eligibility memo

Prior Spanish tax residence, relocation reason, work or investor category, permanent-establishment risk, family scope, and specialist-review questions organized early.

02

Form 149 evidence map

NIF, tax census status, employer or remote-work records, founder or investor records, supporting documentation, and filing sequence mapped before submission.

03

Payroll handoff

Employment withholding and employer-payroll questions are prepared for the relevant payroll provider or tax adviser instead of being improvised late.

04

Annual compliance path

Associated taxpayers, annual-return handoff, regime duration, resignation, exclusion, and end-of-displacement events stay visible after the initial option.

Eligibility

Article 93 fit comes first

Beckham Law is not a generic expat perk. Prior residence, relocation category, income structure, family scope, and permanent-establishment questions need review before filing.

Procedure

Form 149 needs evidence

AEAT notes that supporting documentation is provided before Form 149. We map what needs to exist before the option is communicated.

Payroll

Withholding must be aligned

The tax regime affects employment withholding. Payroll, employer, and tax-adviser handoffs are planned before the first return or correction problem appears.

Boundary

Tax advice stays with specialists

Movingto coordinates the case path. Tax opinions, filing decisions, payroll treatment, and annual compliance are handled by qualified tax specialists.

Who this fits

Why use Movingto for a Spain Beckham Law case?

The valuable work is not selling the regime. It is deciding whether the facts support it, what evidence is missing, who must sign off, and how the tax route interacts with the residence plan.

Good fit for

  • Employees or executives relocating to Spain with a Spanish work or assignment structure
  • Remote employees or digital nomad visa applicants who need tax-regime handoff
  • Founders, entrepreneurs, investors, and qualified professionals who need Article 93 category review
  • Families assessing associated-taxpayer scope and timing
  • Applicants with employer payroll, withholding, and annual-compliance questions

Not the right fit for

  • People resident in Spain during the previous five tax periods
  • Anyone wanting tax advice directly from Movingto
  • Cases with unclear income, corporate, permanent-establishment, or shareholding facts
  • People outside eligible relocation, work, professional, entrepreneur, or investor categories
  • Anyone seeking savings estimates, approval guarantees, or AEAT outcome promises

Common questions

Questions before you engage.

What is included in the Spain Beckham Law service?

The service covers eligibility triage, tax-residence history review, Form 149 evidence planning, NIF and tax census readiness, payroll and withholding handoff, family-scope mapping, and annual-compliance coordination. Tax advice and filing decisions remain with qualified tax specialists.

What is the Beckham Law?

Spain's Article 93 special tax regime lets eligible people who acquire Spanish tax residence because of relocation opt to be taxed under non-resident income-tax rules while remaining IRPF taxpayers for the arrival tax period and the five following periods, if conditions continue.

Who can qualify?

Eligibility depends on prior Spanish tax residence, the reason for relocation, work or professional category, investor or entrepreneur facts where relevant, permanent-establishment issues, and family scope. A tax specialist should confirm the analysis before filing.

What is Form 149?

Form 149 is the AEAT procedure used to communicate the option, resignation, exclusion, or end of displacement under the special tax regime. AEAT notes that the taxpayer needs a NIF, must be on the tax census, and must provide supporting documentation before Form 149 is submitted.

What tax rates apply?

Article 93 sets 24% on relevant work income up to EUR 600,000 and 47% above that threshold. The total tax result depends on the facts, income type, payroll treatment, and specialist advice.

Can my family be included?

Associated taxpayers may be able to opt under conditions when the main taxpayer qualifies. We map spouse and child scope, timing, documentation, and specialist-review questions before relying on family inclusion.

Does Movingto give tax advice?

No. Movingto coordinates the route, evidence, and handoff. Tax advice, payroll treatment, filings, and annual-return decisions should come from qualified tax specialists.

Can this be bundled with Spain digital nomad or non-lucrative services?

Yes, where the route fits. The Beckham Law review can be coordinated alongside Spain digital nomad planning, employment relocation, or other Spain residence work. Non-lucrative applicants need special care because that route is not a work route.
