Beckham Law

24% flat up to EUR 600k

Available for up to 6 years. For a high earner this can matter more than the rent difference.

Nomad visa holders may apply for the Beckham Law regime: flat 24% on Spanish-source income up to EUR 600k for up to 6 years. Canary Islands also have reduced IGIC (7%) instead of mainland VAT (21%).

The honest note

Best year-round climate in the EU, and the Beckham Law makes Spain unusually attractive for high earners despite headline rates.
