COMPANIES AND PROFESSIONALS MOVING ACROSS BORDERS
International mobility advisers in Barcelona.
Sending an employee abroad, hiring talent from another country or relocating yourself involves permits, social security and tax at the same time. We coordinate it all in one team, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Law 35/2006 (Articles 7.p, 9 and 93) and Regulation (EC) 883/2004, Article 12.
WHO WE WORK WITH
Every move has
three fronts at once.
Permission to live and work, social security coverage and tax. Handle them separately and problems appear.
Companies posting staff abroad
Employees sent abroad: tax residence, the Article 7.p exemption, treaties and social security certificates.
Companies hiring international talent
Highly qualified professionals, intra-company transfers and researchers through the Law 14/2013 routes.
Executives and professionals
Your move to or from Spain, with tax planning done before you sign.
International remote workers
Remote work visa, social security and fit with the Beckham Law.
Accompanying families
Permits for spouse and children, and the tax effects of moving as a family.
People moving back
Returning to Spain or leaving for good: dates, residence and outstanding obligations.
IMMIGRATION
The right immigration
route for each profile.
Law 14/2013 eases entry and residence for reasons of economic interest. We choose the route and prepare the full application.
- Highly qualified professionals.
- Intra-company transferees.
- Entrepreneurs and researchers.
- International remote workers.
- NIE, residence and general work permits.
SOCIAL SECURITY AND TAX
The permit is only
half the job.
A well-processed move can still get expensive if social security or tax residence were not reviewed.
- Within the EU, an A1 certificate keeps home-country social security for up to 24 months.
- Outside the EU, we review any bilateral social security agreement.
- Exemption of up to €60,100 a year for work actually performed abroad, subject to conditions.
- Tax residence: over 183 days, centre of interests and family, and the tax treaty.
- The Beckham Law for people relocating to work in Spain.
STEP BY STEP
How we work
with you.
Assessment
Per person and country: nationality, duration, employer and family.
Immigration route
The right permit and home-country documents.
Social security
A1 certificate or bilateral agreement, depending on the destination.
Tax
Residence, the 7.p exemption, the Beckham Law and withholding.
Follow-up and return
Renewals, changes and the return home.
COMMON MISTAKES
What costs the most
later on.
Without a certificate or agreement, contributions may be due in two countries at once.
Spending fewer than 183 days in Spain does not by itself end Spanish tax residence.
The exemption requires evidence of days abroad, who benefits from the work and the destination country.
Your arrival date sets tax deadlines, such as the 6 months to elect the Beckham Law.
