richman tax&law services
Most of our clients come to us with a situation, not a service request.
They're moving to Spain, buying a property, setting up a business, or trying to understand what they owe and to whom.
We listen first, then map out exactly what needs to happen - and we handle as much of it as possible so you don't have to.
Tax & Administrative Law
Spanish tax law is complex enough for residents. For international clients, it involves an additional layer - your home country's obligations, cross-border treaties, and declarations most people have never heard of until they're already in breach.
We advise individuals, families, and businesses on the full scope of Spanish tax compliance and planning - from your first filing in Spain to long-term wealth structuring.
Who typically needs this:
Newly arrived residents, long-term expats who have never properly regularised their tax position, high-net-worth individuals with assets in multiple countries, and anyone who has received a letter from Hacienda.
Tax Residency | Beckham Law | Modelo 720 | Wealth Tax | IRPF
What this covers:
Tax residency establishment and planning
Annual income tax filings (IRPF)
Beckham Law applications - the special expat tax regime offering a flat 24% rate for up to six years
Modelo 720 - mandatory declaration of foreign assets held outside Spain
Wealth tax (Impuesto sobre el Patrimonio)
Inheritance and gift tax planning
Double taxation treaty advice
Tax representation before the Spanish Tax Agency (Hacienda)
Property Transactions
Buying or selling property in Spain involves more legal and tax steps than most clients expect - especially if you’re not a Spanish resident. We manage the full conveyancing process and make sure nothing falls through the cracks: from verifying the property’s legal status to calculating your exact tax obligations at every stage.
We work with buyers, sellers, developers, and investors across the Costa del Sol. If you’re purchasing from abroad, we can handle everything without you needing to be physically present for every step.
Who typically needs this:
International buyers purchasing a primary or secondary residence on the Costa del Sol, non-residents selling a Spanish property, investors acquiring commercial real estate, and buyers considering residency pathways alongside their purchase.
Conveyancing | Due Diligence | Non-Resident Tax | Capital Gains | Property Contracts
What this covers:
Full conveyancing - purchase and sale of residential and commercial property
Legal due diligence - title checks, debt searches, planning and licence verification

(Modelo 210, capital gains)
New-build and off-plan purchase oversight
Power of attorney - allowing us to act on your behalf if you're not in Spain
Coordination with notaries, registries, and mortgage lenders
Corporate & Commercial
Setting up and running a business in Spain has its own regulatory landscape - from choosing the right company structure to meeting ongoing compliance obligations. We advise both new businesses establishing themselves in Spain and existing companies navigating cross-border operations.
Our approach is practical: we help you make decisions that are legally sound and commercially sensible, whether you’re a sole founder registering as autónomo or a company opening a Spanish subsidiary.
Who typically needs this:
Entrepreneurs relocating to Spain and establishing a local entity, international companies opening a Spanish subsidiary, freelancers and digital workers registering as autónomo, and businesses with existing structures that need reorganising for Spanish compliance.

Relocating to Spain
Moving to Spain is one of the most rewarding decisions our clients make. It is also, in the early months, one of the most administratively demanding. NIE numbers, residency permits, tax registration, social security, town hall registration - each step has its own timeline, its own office, and its own requirements.
We provide a clear roadmap and handle the process with you, so that what should be an exciting chapter doesn't become a bureaucratic one.
Who typically needs this:
Anyone moving to Spain from abroad - retirees, remote workers, families, and anyone who has arrived and realised the paperwork is more involved than expected.
NIE | Residency Permits | Tax Registration | Social Security | Empadronamiento | Healthcare
What this covers:
NIE (Número de Identificación de Extranjero) - your essential Spanish identification number

Healthcare registration
Driving licence exchange

Not sure which service
applies to you?
That's completely normal!
Most of our clients' situations span more than one area - a property purchase that leads to residency questions, a relocation that triggers tax obligations, a business structure that connects to personal wealth planning.
The best place to start is a conversation.
