The 'Beckham Regime' isn't just for the super wealthy anymore

I’ve been talking about the ‘Beckham Regime’ this week. When they hear it, most think footballers, multimillionaires or expats living in gated Marbella villas.But that’s changing, fast. We’re now seeing a completely different type of client triggering Beckham:

  • Founders relocating to Barcelona after a funding round- UK-based marketing leads moving with their EU team

  • Remote workers hired by US tech firms

  • Finance professionals bringing their family to Madrid

  • Startup execs launching a Spanish subsidiary for scale

It’s not about avoiding tax. It’s about strategic clarity.

Spain has one of the most structured expat tax shields in Europe. It applies to far more people than most assume… but almost no one gets told how it works until it’s too late.

So yes, it’s a tax planning tool.

But more than that, it’s a way to land in Spain with eyes open and liabilities contained.

And the smartest clients? They’re the ones who ask before they move.

If that’s you, or someone on your team, give me a shout.
