Frequently asked questions
Is this Beckham Law calculator a final tax calculation?
No. It is a planning estimate that compares a simplified progressive tax scenario with the special inbound worker regime. Eligibility, employment structure, company control, timing, and filing dates must be reviewed before relying on the result.
Why does the Modelo 149 deadline matter?
The special regime is requested through Modelo 149 after the relevant Spanish registration trigger. If the timing is wrong, a financially attractive move can become a missed regime case.
Who should use this tool?
It is most useful for executives, senior employees, founders, remote workers, and internationally mobile professionals planning a move to Spain before salary, equity, or registration dates are fixed.
Is the prior residence lookback still ten years?
For current planning, the key screen is whether the person was Spanish tax resident during the five tax periods before the move. Older ten year references should not be used without checking the applicable year and transitional rules.
Can family members use the Beckham regime too?
Sometimes. Spouses, the parent of the displaced worker children, and children under the relevant age or disability rules may need a separate review because their income, timing, and exclusion rules can change the result.
