✔ Work Remotely Legal ✔ Path to Permanent ResidencyWill I Pay Tax Twice? (The Strategy)
This is the #1 worry for British expats. As Lawyers, we structure your move to ensure you apply the UK-Spain Double Taxation Treaty correctly.
No Double Taxation
We ensure you don't pay tax on the same income twice. We guide you on how to trigger the Double Taxation Treaty so you only pay where you are resident.
Ltd Company vs. Autonomo
Are you a Director of your own UK Ltd? Or a Sole Trader? We advise on whether you should invoice through a Spanish entity or register as a freelancer.
"Beckham Law" Check
For high earners, there is a possibility to apply for the flat 24% tax rate. It is complex to obtain, but we perform a feasibility check to see if you qualify.

Why Remote Workers
Trust Mecan Legal
Navigating the Digital Nomad Law requires more than just paperwork; it requires interpreting your employment status correctly. We are licensed Abogados who understand the difference between a Contractor, an Employee, and a Ltd Company Director.
- ✅ Contract Optimization: We review your UK contract to ensure it explicitly allows “International Teleworking”—a key requirement that gets many DIY applications rejected.
- ✅ Family Application Strategy: Moving with a partner or children? We calculate the exact extra financial means required and structure the application so the whole family is approved simultaneously.
- ✅ The “3-Year” Strategy: We advise applying directly from Spain (during your tourist stay) to secure a 3-year permit immediately, skipping the 1-year visa from the London Consulate.

Company > 1 Year OldCommon Questions
Will I become a tax resident in Spain?
Generally, yes. If you spend more than 183 days in Spain, you become a tax resident. However, thanks to the Double Taxation Treaty, you will claim relief on taxes paid in the UK. We manage this transition.
Can I apply for the Beckham Law (24% tax)?
It is possible, but strict criteria apply (e.g., you cannot be a freelancer/autonomo in most cases, you must be an employee or administrator). We will review your specific case during the consultation.
Can my partner work in Spain?
Yes! Under the Digital Nomad Visa, your spouse gets a permit that allows them to work in Spain (for a Spanish company or remotely) with full freedom.
