Planning to work for yourself in Spain?

Becoming autónomo can be a great way to start your business or freelance career. But your earnings won't be the same as the money you take home.

2️⃣ 𝗧𝗮𝘅𝗲𝘀: 𝗜𝗥𝗣𝗙 & 𝗩𝗔𝗧

You need to plan for personal income tax (IRPF) and, where applicable, VAT (IVA). Depending on your activity and tax regime, periodic tax returns and payments may be required.

3️⃣ 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁

𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝘃𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗳

𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝘃𝘀 𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲?

You have a Spanish residence permit. Does that automatically mean you must pay taxes in Spain?

𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗹𝘆.

These are two different legal concepts, and confusing them can lead to unexpected tax obligations.

🏠 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆

Your residence permit gives you the legal right to live in Spain under specific conditions. It does not automatically determine your tax status.

💶 𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆

You may be considered a Spanish tax resident if:

🔹 You spend more than 183 days in Spain during a calendar year.

🔹 Your main economic activities or interests are based in Spain, even if you spend fewer than 184 days here.

🔹 Your spouse and dependent minor children habitually live in Spain — which may create a presumption of tax residency.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿?

Spanish tax residents are generally subject to taxation on their worldwide income, taking into account applicable tax treaties and special regimes.

This means income from employment, business activities or investments abroad may also be relevant to your Spanish tax obligations.

⚖️ 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿: Having a residence permit does not automatically make you a tax resident. And spending fewer than 184 days in Spain does not always mean you are a non-resident.

At 𝗟𝘂𝘀𝗮 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹, we help international clients understand their residency status and tax obligations in Spain.

🏡 𝗕𝘂𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻? 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝟱 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀

🏡 𝗕𝘂𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻? 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝟱 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀!

Buying a home in Spain is an exciting step. But overlooking important legal details can turn your dream property into an expensive problem.

Here are five common mistakes international buyers should avoid:

1️⃣ 𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆

Before signing a reservation or deposit agreement, make sure you understand its conditions. Getting your money back may not be straightforward.

2️⃣ 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆'𝘀 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝘂𝘀

Outstanding debts, mortgages, legal restrictions or unauthorised alterations can create unexpected complications.

3️⃣ 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁

The purchase price isn't the final amount. Taxes, notary fees, registration costs and other expenses should be included in your budget.

4️⃣ 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺

A property contract may contain important deadlines, penalties and obligations. Never sign something you don't fully understand.

5️⃣ 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁

An independent lawyer can review the transaction specifically from the buyer's perspective and help identify legal risks before you commit.

⚖️ 𝗔𝘁 𝗟𝘂𝘀𝗮 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹, we help international clients navigate property purchases in Spain, from legal due diligence to contract review and completion.

💡 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 before buying property in Spain — or share it with someone planning to buy.
