The thresholds are linked to the Spanish minimum wage and change every year, with extra amounts for each family member. We check the figures that apply on the date you file.

Not always. It can lower your taxes a lot, but it has requirements, a strict deadline and trade-offs. We review it with your numbers before you decide.
Each service has a fixed fee that we quote in writing after the first consultation, before you commit. Official fees and translations are separate and listed in the quote.
Write to us with your nationality, where you are now, how you earn your income and when you want to move. We reply within two working days.
