Following the reform introduced by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boe.es\/buscar\/act.php?id=BOE-A-2022-21739\">Law 28\/2022 of 21 December, promoting the ecosystem of emerging companies<\/a>, the regime may apply, among other cases, to individuals who relocate to Spain as a consequence of acquiring the status of director of an entity.<\/p>\n<p>The possibility of applying the regime through the director route already raises several practical issues, which we analysed in our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/seegman.com\/en\/the-beckham-law-and-spanish-company-directors-key-issues-in-its-practical-application\/\">the Beckham Law and Spanish company directors<\/a>. This new analysis focuses on a particularly sensitive point: the need to prove the causal link between the relocation to Spain and the appointment as director, as well as the importance of having sufficient documentary evidence in the event of a review by the Spanish Tax Authorities.<\/p>\n<p>This issue has become increasingly relevant due to the rise in reviews of taxpayers applying the regime and the express reference in the <a href=\"https:\/\/seegman.com\/en\/tax-control-plan-2026-key-areas-of-inspection-and-practical-insights\/\">2026 Tax Control Plan<\/a> to abusive use of the regime in cases where prior effective residence or the reality of employment or management relationships is questioned.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-608ec9d elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"608ec9d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4dbf12 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b4dbf12\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>Can a director apply the Beckham Law?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Yes. Article 93 LIRPF provides that the special regime may apply where the relocation to Spain takes place as a consequence of acquiring the status of director of an entity, provided that the other requirements of the regime are met.<\/p>\n<p>In general terms, the taxpayer must be able to prove, among other things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>that they have not been tax resident in Spain during the five tax periods prior to the relocation;<\/li>\n<li>that they acquire Spanish tax residence as a consequence of their relocation to Spain;<\/li>\n<li>that the relocation takes place for one of the qualifying reasons provided for in the law, including the acquisition of the status of director;<\/li>\n<li>that they do not obtain income that would be classified as obtained through a permanent establishment located in Spain, except in the cases expressly excluded by the regulations;<\/li>\n<li>and that, if the entity qualifies as an asset-holding company, the director does not hold a participation that determines their status as a related party under Article 18 of the Spanish Corporate Income Tax Law.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This last point is particularly relevant in structures where the director holds a significant shareholding in the company. In non-asset-holding companies, the director\u2019s participation must be analysed differently; in asset-holding companies, the law itself introduces an additional limitation that may prevent the application of the regime.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Law 28\/2022 reform and the director route<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The possibility of applying the special regime through the acquisition of the status of director was incorporated by Law 28\/2022. Although the preamble to that law referred to directors of emerging companies, the wording of Article 93 LIRPF does not limit the route exclusively to companies certified as emerging companies.<\/p>\n<p>The Spanish Directorate-General for Taxation has accepted that the route may apply to directors of entities that do not necessarily qualify as emerging companies, provided that the legal requirements are met and, in particular, the causal link between the relocation and the acquisition of the status of director can be established.<\/p>\n<p>In any event, this interpretation does not remove the need for an individual analysis. The application of the regime should be coordinated with immigration status, tax residence, the corporate structure and the tax planning of the relocation, particularly in <a href=\"https:\/\/seegman.com\/en\/global-mobility\/\">global mobility to Spain<\/a> projects involving executives, shareholders or directors.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The key requirement: causal link between relocation and appointment<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The critical point is not merely the existence of a formal appointment as director. What matters is whether it can be proven that the relocation to Spain took place as a consequence of that appointment or of the business project that justified the acquisition of director status.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the Spanish Tax Authorities may challenge the application of the regime if they consider that the taxpayer had already relocated to Spain for personal, family, wealth-management or professional reasons unrelated to the appointment, and that the director appointment was made afterwards to fit formally within the regime.<\/p>\n<p>Causality is not resolved by a date alone. It requires reconstructing and documenting the full sequence: relocation decision, business project, incorporation or acquisition of the company, appointment, registration, effective functions, actual activity and consistency among all those elements.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Companies incorporated after relocation: a particularly sensitive point<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In practice, one of the scenarios generating the greatest controversy is that of taxpayers who relocate to Spain before the company in which they will act as directors has been fully incorporated. Recent press reports indicate that the Spanish Tax Agency has been denying the application of the regime in certain cases where the company did not exist at the exact time of relocation. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eleconomista.es\/legal\/noticias\/13959697\/06\/26\/hacienda-deniega-la-ley-beckham-a-los-empresarios-que-se-mudan-a-espana-antes-de-crear-la-compania.html\">See related news item<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>From a practical standpoint, requiring the company to be already incorporated on the exact date of the change of country may be difficult to reconcile with the operational reality of many business projects. Incorporating a company requires preparatory steps, coordination with advisers, corporate documentation, bank account opening, powers of attorney and, in some cases, the physical presence of the future director in Spain to promote or coordinate the process.<\/p>\n<p>However, this operational reality does not exempt the taxpayer from proving causality. On the contrary: where the company is incorporated after the relocation, the evidentiary burden becomes more demanding. It will be necessary to prove that the relocation was linked from the outset to the business project and the future appointment as director, and not that the appointment was a subsequent consequence of the relocation.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, it is advisable to document from the earliest stages the economic and business rationale for the relocation, the need for presence in Spain, the planning of the company incorporation and the expectation that the taxpayer would assume real management functions.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Increased scrutiny of the impatriate regime by the Spanish Tax Authorities<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In recent years, there has been an increase in review procedures concerning taxpayers applying the special regime, both at the initial application stage and in subsequent tax review or audit procedures. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boe.es\/diario_boe\/txt.php?id=BOE-A-2026-5843\">2026 Annual Tax and Customs Control Plan<\/a> expressly refers to the control of the impatriate regime and warns of cases in which the regime is sought through simulated employment or management relationships.<\/p>\n<p>This means that obtaining a certificate or filing the option for the regime should not be understood as a definitive validation of all requirements. The Tax Authorities may subsequently verify whether the regime was properly applied, particularly where there are signs of simulation, lack of substance or inconsistencies in the dates and documents provided.<\/p>\n<p>The option for the regime is communicated through <a href=\"https:\/\/sede.agenciatributaria.gob.es\/Sede\/procedimientoini\/G606.shtml\">Form 149<\/a>, but filing the form does not replace the substantive analysis of the requirements or the need to preserve sufficient documentation.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Indicators that may call the regime into question<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In recent procedures, the Tax Authorities and review bodies have looked at indicators that may suggest that the management relationship lacks sufficient economic reality or that the company does not have sufficient substance of its own. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>absence of actual services or effective director functions;<\/li>\n<li>company income mainly arising from entities related to the inbound taxpayer;<\/li>\n<li>lack of material, human or technical resources sufficient to carry out the declared activity;<\/li>\n<li>company activity carried out from the taxpayer\u2019s habitual residence;<\/li>\n<li>recurring or unjustified bank transfers between company accounts and the taxpayer\u2019s personal accounts;<\/li>\n<li>inconsistencies between the relocation date, company incorporation, appointment, registration and effective start of activity;<\/li>\n<li>lack of documentation evidencing management decisions, contracts, real transactions or the entity\u2019s own activity;<\/li>\n<li>confusion between the taxpayer\u2019s personal activity and the activity of the company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>None of these indicators is necessarily decisive in isolation. However, the accumulation of several of them may weaken the taxpayer\u2019s position and make it easier for the Tax Authorities to argue that the structure was designed to meet the formal requirements of the regime without sufficient economic reality.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What documentation should be prepared and retained?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Documentary evidence is one of the most important elements for defending the application of the regime. In these cases, it is not enough to retain the formal appointment. It is advisable to prepare an organised file that explains the full sequence of the relocation and the business project.<\/p>\n<p>Relevant documentation may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>corporate resolutions appointing the individual as director;<\/li>\n<li>registration of the appointment with the Commercial Registry;<\/li>\n<li>articles of association and, where applicable, provisions on the remunerated nature of the position;<\/li>\n<li>contract, letter of functions, powers of attorney or documents describing the director\u2019s effective responsibilities;<\/li>\n<li>preparatory documentation for the business project and the incorporation of the company;<\/li>\n<li>emails, minutes, proposals, timelines or reports evidencing that the relocation was linked from the outset to the business project;<\/li>\n<li>documentation of the effective relocation to Spain: housing, moving arrangements, flights, local registration, schooling of children, utilities or any other relevant evidence;<\/li>\n<li>certificates or evidence of prior tax residence and, where applicable, deregistration or tax disconnection from the previous country;<\/li>\n<li>contracts with clients, suppliers or group entities evidencing real activity;<\/li>\n<li>evidence of the company\u2019s material or human resources;<\/li>\n<li>accounts, invoicing, bank statements and a clear separation between personal assets and company assets;<\/li>\n<li>documentation allowing the taxpayer to justify that the entity is not an asset-holding company where this point is relevant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This evidentiary approach should be coordinated with a broader review of <a href=\"https:\/\/seegman.com\/en\/tax\/\">tax advice for individuals relocating to Spain<\/a>, especially where the taxpayer has international investments, significant wealth or potential implications in wealth taxation.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tax review procedures: initial application and subsequent audit<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The regime may be reviewed at different stages. Initially, the Tax Authorities may review the documentation submitted with the communication of the option for the regime. Later, they may review tax periods already filed under the special regime in order to verify whether the requirements were actually met.<\/p>\n<p>This distinction is important because the initial application of the regime does not eliminate the risk of a subsequent review. If the Tax Authorities conclude that the management relationship was simulated, that there was insufficient causality or that other essential requirements were not met, they may reassess the taxpayer\u2019s position.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, a change of tax residence may have other implications that should be analysed in advance, as explained in our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/seegman.com\/en\/change-of-tax-residence-and-exit-tax-in-spain-key-considerations-requirements-and-controversies\/\">change of tax residence and exit tax in Spain<\/a>, especially for taxpayers with significant corporate or financial holdings.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Consequences of losing the regime<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Losing the regime may have a significant economic impact. In general terms, if the taxpayer ceases to validly apply the Beckham Law, they would be taxed as an ordinary Spanish tax resident under Personal Income Tax.<\/p>\n<p>This may involve:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>taxation in Spain on worldwide income, including income obtained both inside and outside Spain;<\/li>\n<li>potential impact on Wealth Tax and the Temporary Solidarity Tax on Large Fortunes, where applicable, by reference to the taxpayer\u2019s entire wealth;<\/li>\n<li>reassessment of prior tax years;<\/li>\n<li>late-payment interest;<\/li>\n<li>and the potential initiation of penalty proceedings if the Tax Authorities consider that a tax infringement has occurred.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For this reason, the issue should not be analysed only from the perspective of the initial tax saving, but also from the taxpayer\u2019s ability to defend the regime in the event of a review.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion: planning and evidence before relocating<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Applying the Beckham Law through the director route remains a relevant option for certain taxpayers relocating to Spain to perform genuine management or director functions in an entity. However, it requires careful planning and robust documentation from the outset.<\/p>\n<p>The central element will be to demonstrate that the relocation to Spain took place as a consequence of the appointment or the business project linked to the director role. This is particularly important where the company is incorporated around the time of relocation, where the taxpayer holds a significant shareholding in the entity, or where the company must prove real economic activity and its own resources.<\/p>\n<p>In short, the Beckham Law should not be prepared once a tax review procedure has already started. It should be designed before the relocation, documented throughout the process and reviewed periodically during the years in which the regime applies.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c78d366 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"c78d366\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0053740 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0053740\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\">Frequently asked questions about the Beckham Law for directors<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a31cd4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"5a31cd4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-9451\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-9451\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">1.
