Beckham Law

Spain introduced a favourable tax residency regime a number of years ago aimed at attracting foreign footballers, executives and employees to Spain. It was rumoured at the time that this legislation was brought in by the Spanish Government to help appease Spanish football clubs hence why it was named the Beckham law. Up until 2022 it allowed employees or Directors with less than 25% in the employing Company to be taxed in Spain as a non-resident for income tax and wealth tax in the year of change and following five years. From the 1st January 2023, the regime was opened up to people in other situations, please see below link for further information.
