Spain: “Hola fiscal resident 👋 time to pay up!” 💸🇪🇸

Reality check: If you have any type of legal residency in Spain, you’re on your way to becoming a tax resident whether you like it or not.

The hacienda knows. The hacienda always knows. 😅

Yes, you can (and should) plan the timing smartly. And yes, you need a good accountant in your corner. Trust me don’t DIY your tax status. 🧾🧠

Thinking of relocating to Spain? 🇪🇸

This morning’s chat with a potential client reminded me of a common myth: that getting a Digital Nomad Visa (or any other residency type) means you can skip becoming a Spanish tax resident. ❌

Reality check: Legal residency = fiscal residency.

If you’re living in Spain legally, you’re expected to declare and pay taxes here. 🧾

But don’t panic with the right timing and planning, things can be structured smartly. ✔️ That’s why I always recommend speaking to a qualified tax advisor to map out what works best for your situation.

Plan smart. Relocate right.
