Frequently Asked Questions

For the tax year that you are a Spanish Non Tax resident, you will only have to pay taxes in Spain if the cost of your salary is reinvoiced or paid in the end by the Spanish company.

Your foreign employer will not have directly any withholding obligations in Spain.

However, if the foreign employer has a permanent establishment in Spain, through a branch, and is deducting the cost of your salary from its taxable base for corporate income tax, they must make withholdings on your salary, which correspond to your personal income taxation.

You would only have to pay taxes in Spain on the sale of your foreign assets if you sell it during a tax year when you have been a Spanish tax Resident.

If that is the case and you are younger than 65 years old in the tax year you sell the property, you will have to pay capital gains taxes when selling the foreign property.

However, Spain has a capital gains exemption if you reinvest the money following the sale. It works as follows:

You bought the property for €400,000 and later you sell it for €1,200,000.

You have made a capital gain of €800,000 and buy a new home in Spain for €600,000

As you have reinvested 50% of the amount received, this portion is exception from capital gains tax. So you will only pay taxes on the 50% of the capital gain. In this scenario, you will pay capital gains on €400,000.

To receive this exemption, you must:

– live in the property for at least two years before you sold it
– buy a new Spanish property within two years of selling your former home
– live in the new Spanish property within a year of buying it
– live in the new Spanish property for at least three years following the purchase

A great law firm that covers anything an expat might need. I needed help with real estate initially, and they also helped me with immigration, taxes, and corporate legal matters. Fantastic people to work with. Alejandro from their real estate and immigration department is my main contact and he is an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!

Want to give a shout out to Monica Lopez, Gabriela Baly, Sara Rinaldi & Sara Fraile for all being very professional / supporting me as things have come up!I've already referred a few friends in that are interested in moving to spain on nomad visas. Gracias por todo!

I've worked with Lexidy with various tax and immigration related inquiries, which they have handled well.However, I did have a negative experience regarding obtaining a digital certificate. I engaged Lexidy to obtain a digital certificate, for which they charged 250EUR. As it turns out, the certificate was valid for just one year, which they did not inform me of when they delivered it to me.After I discovered it had expired, I wrote to Lexidy expressing my surprise, but I never received any reply.I then proceeded to follow the process myself to obtain a new digital certificate per the website of the Fabrica Nacional de Mondeda y Timbre to obtain a digital certificate. The process is, in fact, free and (if you speak Spanish) only marginally more complex on my end than engaging Lexidy.On top of it all, the digital certificate I received from the FMNT is valid for 3 years, not 1.

The Lexidy team is uniquely positioned to provide pan-European business and tax advisory services; what would be complex or impossible for a country-specific advisor is straightforward for Lexidy. They answered in days what would take weeks for other firms.

Absolutely Professional and worth-it Experience!I can highly recommend working with Carlota Llopart and Lexidy! Carlota and the team have gone beyond my expectations when it comes to owning and actually even driving the steps for my mortgage, the purchase of my flat as well as taxes filed. I have had an extremely difficult seller, but I was able to fully trust the team to guide me through this first acquisition.I have already recommended Lexidy to friends who had similar positives experiences and will continue working with Carlota and the team. Side note, me being German: Great value for money too!

Lexidy has been a lifesaver. The entire team has helped us so much on different matters both personal and corporate. Isabel in correcting an error by a previous accountant that was costing us an extra €1000 every month in social security payments! Jose with various matters and tax advice. Diego in helping us get documents notarized in Valencia even though he is based in Madrid. I cannot recommend them enough!
