Yes. Professional athletes and other elite sportspeople who relocate their tax residence to Spain can, in certain circumstances, apply for the Beckham Law regime in the same way as executives or foreign employees. Eligibility depends on factors such as the source of the income and any prior tax residence in Spain, so we recommend a preliminary assessment before the move takes place.
Yes, in certain cases. Current regulations allow some employees who relocate to Spain to work remotely for a foreign company to benefit from the regime, provided that all legal requirements are strictly met and a genuine employment relationship can be demonstrated.
Among other requirements, the applicant must not have been a Spanish tax resident during the five years prior to relocation, the move to Spain must be the result of an employment relationship or appointment as a company director, the activity must be carried out in Spain, and the application must be submitted within the legal six-month deadline from the relevant registration date.
The regime applies for six consecutive tax years: the year in which Spanish tax residence is acquired and the following five tax years. Once this period has ended, the taxpayer will be taxed under the general Spanish personal income tax regime.
