How you own a Spanish property is easy to get wrong and expensive to change later. We work it out before you commit to anything.
What we do
We work out the best way to own the property. Your own tax position and the company’s affect each other, so we look at them together. You get it in writing, with the reasoning, and then we talk it through.
The advice is given by a lawyer admitted to the Ilustre Colegio de Abogados de Málaga.
What you get
First, we check the Beckham Law. It is a special tax regime for people moving to Spain, and whether you qualify can change which structure makes sense. So it comes first.
How you should own it
A recommendation: in your own name, through a Spanish company, or through one abroad, and what each would mean.
In writing
A memo or a presentation: what we looked at, what we recommend, and why.
What the company pays
How Spanish corporate tax, the Impuesto sobre Sociedades, applies if you buy or hold through a company.
VAT
Where IVA lands on the purchase itself, and on the structure afterwards.
Taking profits out
What you pay when money leaves the Spanish company and reaches you.
Double tax treaties
We read the treaties for up to two countries you choose, so you know where you stand between them and Spain.
How it works
- A first call. Who you are, what you are buying, and what you want out of it.
- Your paperwork. We ask for what matters, personal and corporate, and read it.
- How you are set up now. What exists already, and what the new structure has to do.
- The options. The ones that actually apply to you, with what each one costs you.
- The report. What we found and what we recommend, written down.
- A call to go through it. We walk you through it and answer everything before you decide.
What it costs depends on how complicated your situation is. You get the number before we start.
Every enquiry is handled personally and in confidence.
