Spanish tax, before it becomes a surprise

Tax residency in Spain is not something you opt into. It follows from days spent here and where your economic interests sit, and it usually starts applying well before anybody has explained it to you.

The expensive mistakes are nearly always timing ones: the Beckham regime has a window that closes, Modelo 720 has a deadline and penalties that used to be notorious, and an inheritance handled under the wrong regional rules cannot be re-done afterwards. These pages are about seeing that calendar early.

Not sure which of these you need?

That is a normal place to start, and it is a short conversation. Tell us your situation and we will tell you which route applies — including when the answer is that none of them do.
