Moving to Spain as a remote worker brings specific tax complexities. Many digital nomads face uncertainty about their residency status and tax liabilities, and this is where our team of expert tax advisors can help.
Spain can treat you as a tax resident if you spend more than 183 days in the country in a calendar year, or if your main economic or family ties are in Spain.
Residents are taxed on worldwide income, while non-residents are taxed only on Spanish‑source income. If two countries both consider you a tax resident, the applicable tax treaty uses tie-breaker rules (often) in the following order: permanent home, center of vital interests, habitual abode, and nationality.
Should that still not decide it, the authorities reach a mutual agreement. Be sure to keep clear records of travel dates, leases, and contracts, and consult with a tax professional early on so that you file the correct return and avoid double taxation.
Note: Tytle supports residents and non-residents with Spanish tax obligations.
