Spanish relocation advice

If you are thinking about relocating from Spain to the UK or vice versa, we offer you specialist bilingual expertise considering the different legal and tax implications in both jurisdictions. 

We advise on:

• Tax residency analysis. Spain and the UK have different tax residency rules and tax years. Timings can be crucial when relocating between jurisdictions from a tax optimisation perspective. 
• Pre-emigration and pre-immigration tax planning, from a UK and Spanish perspective. Analysis of current wealth and income structures and any changes needed from a tax efficiency perspective before relocation. 
• Application of special tax regimes, such as the Spanish expatriate tax regime, the so-called Beckham Law Regime, or the UK Foreign Income and Gains Tax Regime. 
• Analysis of the new legal and tax system applicable to your specific circumstances. 

We offer an Anglo-Spanish approach with unique tailor-made solutions for your specific circumstances, with access to an extensive network of contacts (Spanish Notaries, Financial Advisors, Wealth Managers…).

All members of the team are bilingual. We have huge experience dealing with the interaction of the Spanish and UK legal and tax systems, helping our clients relocate to their new home destination. In such a globalised and mobile world, cross-border advice analysing the bigger picture is a must, and that is what the Spanish law team at Russell-Cooke offers.

We belong to the relevant professional associations, including the Spanish Bar Association, the British Spanish Law Association, the ATT (Association of Taxation Technicians) and STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners). 

Charges are based on our hourly rates plus administrative charges and disbursements. We’ll provide an initial estimate of your likely legal costs and will update this if your requirements or the circumstances of the work change.

The current range of hourly rates for members of the team is from £175 plus VAT to £525 plus VAT per hour.

We would be pleased to discuss your requirements free of charge and tailor an estimate for you.
