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. Estimated total cost: €363.
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 digital nomads with a teleworking visa and professionals in startups. 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.

- NO personal/family minimums or regional tax deductions are applied.
