Beckham Law (inbound expats): Modelos 149 / 151

Beckham Law (inbound expats): Modelos 149 / 151 is filed with Agencia Tributaria: modelos 149 (solicitud) y 151 (declaración anual). With Managora you do it 100% online: you answer a few questions, sign a digital mandato (power of representation) and we draft, sign and file your application for you. What we charge you: €825.

We process your application for the special tax regime for inbound expats (popularly known as the Beckham Law): initial application using Modelo 149 and annual tax return using Modelo 151. We verify the requirements of art. 93 LIRPF (no tax residence in Spain during the previous 5 years, reason for relocation, no activity via permanent establishment) following the relaxation introduced by Ley 28/2022 (Startup Law) which accepts remote workers with an employment contract (including employees with a digital nomad visa) and highly qualified professionals at emerging companies. A digital nomad who invoices as a freelancer does not qualify through the remote work route. We automatically compare the Beckham tax rate (24 % up to 600.000 € + 47 % on the excess) with the general progressive IRPF rate to confirm that it is worth your while.

Prerequisites we also handle for you

This procedure may require documents that we also obtain. If your case needs one and you do not have it, ask us for it here and come back once you have it:

And whatever a third party provides, we arrange it

  • Traducción jurada (sworn translation) into Spanish
  • Apostilla or legalisation of a foreign document

You do not have to look for anyone: we coordinate it. As it is provided by a third party it is quoted separately and does not go inside the price of this procedure, and we tell you the amount before ordering it.

Legal basis and things to bear in mind

  • Regime applicable in the year you become tax resident in Spain (the first calendar year in which, after relocating, you spend more than 183 days here) and the 5 following years (6 tax years in total). If you arrive in the second half of the year, the first year is normally the following one.
  • Rates: 24 % up to 600.000 € and 47 % on the excess, applied to the whole taxable base except dividends, interest and gains on disposals, which go to the savings scale: from 19 % to 30 % (19, 21, 23, 27 and 30 %, the scale for tax year 2025).
  • NO personal/family minimums or regional tax deductions are applied.
  • Anyone who opts for the regime is subject to Wealth Tax (Impuesto sobre el Patrimonio) on a territorial basis (obligación real).
  • Following Ley 28/2022 (Startup Law, effective from 1-Jan-2023): the prior period without tax residence in Spain is 5 years; remote workers with an employment relationship (including employees with a digital nomad visa) and highly qualified professionals at emerging companies or in R&D&i are accepted; the spouse and children under 25 (or of any age with a disability), or the other parent if there is no marriage, can also apply if, among other conditions, the sum of their taxable bases is lower than the main taxpayer's.
  • Deadline for Modelo 149: 6 months from the activity start date shown on your Seguridad Social registration (or on the document keeping you in your home country's system), not from your arrival or from the visa. Once the deadline has passed, you CANNOT apply for this relocation.
  • Deadline for Modelo 151: the same one set each year for the general IRPF return.
  • Voluntary waiver: with Modelo 149, in November or December of the year before the one in which it is to take effect. Anyone who waives cannot opt in again.
  • While under the regime, the only economic activities allowed are the entrepreneurial one and that of a highly qualified professional at an emerging company or in R&D&i. If you breach a condition you are excluded: the exclusion is reported with Modelo 149 within one month and you cannot opt in again.
  • You will need your NIE and, if you are not an EU citizen, a valid TIE: if your TIE has expired, renew it first (we can handle that too).
