Moving to or living in *Lanzarote* Once you spend more than 183 days a year in Spain, you become a Spanish tax resident — and Spain taxes your worldwide income. The rules are complex, administered entirely in Spanish, and the penalties for getting it wrong are steep. - Tax residency assessment and registration - Annual IRPF income tax return (Renta) - Beckham Law application — flat 24% for 6 years - Modelo 720 — overseas assets declaration - UK pension and double tax treaty advice - NIE number assistance - AEAT notification monitoring — we alert you before deadlines **New to Lanzarote?** The Beckham Law application window closes 6 months after registering with Social Security.

Why Lanzarote ## A fiscal regime unlike *anywhere else in the EU* The Canary Islands' Special Economic and Fiscal Regime (REF) has been EU-approved for over 30 years. These are not loopholes — they are structured incentives designed to compensate for the islands' geographical isolation. 4% ZEC corporate tax For qualifying companies in the Zona Especial Canaria. Standard rate in Spain is 25%. 7% IGIC instead of VAT Canary Islands indirect tax replaces Spain's 21% IVA, reducing costs for businesses and consumers. 90% RIC base reduction Reinvest up to 90% of profits back into Canarian assets and reduce your corporate tax base accordingly. 99.9% Inheritance tax relief For direct relatives — children, grandchildren, spouses. Makes the Canary Islands nearly inheritance-tax-free. 6.5% Property transfer tax ITP on resale property. Versus 10% in Valencia or Catalonia — saving thousands on a standard purchase. 45% DIC investment deduction Deduct up to 45% of qualifying Canarian investments directly from your corporate tax liability. Questions ## Common *questions* Do I need a Spanish tax advisor if I live in Lanzarote? Once you spend more than 183 days per year in Spain you become a Spanish tax resident and must declare your worldwide income to the AEAT. Spain's tax system is administered entirely in Spanish, with official communications requiring responses within 10–15 days. Missing a notification can result in fines, interest and in serious cases embargoes on bank accounts. A qualified English-speaking advisor is not just convenient — it is genuinely protective of your finances. Can you manage my holiday rental taxes from outside Lanzarote? Yes — our entire service is delivered remotely. We serve property owners based in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland and across Europe. You share documents digitally through our client portal, and we handle all filings, IGIC returns and AEAT communications on your behalf. You never need to visit Spain for tax purposes. How is Lanzarote different from buying or investing in mainland Spain? The Canary Islands operate under a Special Economic and Fiscal Regime (REF) approved by the European Union. This means lower indirect taxes (IGIC at 7% vs 21% IVA), lower property transfer tax (6.5% vs up to 10%), a 99.9% inheritance tax exemption for direct relatives, and a 4% corporate tax rate under the ZEC. These are structural advantages, not loopholes — in place for over 30 years. What is the Digital Nomad Visa and can I use it for Lanzarote? Spain's Digital Nomad Visa allows non-EU nationals including British citizens post-Brexit to live in Spain while working remotely for foreign clients or employers. It requires proof of remote work and a minimum monthly income of approximately €2,646. Qualifying holders can access the Beckham Law flat 24% tax rate for up to 6 years. Lanzarote is a popular destination given the climate, infrastructure and cost of living. Do you work with clients who have not filed Spanish taxes before? Yes, this is very common. Voluntary regularisation — coming forward before the AEAT contacts you — typically results in significantly lower penalties than being investigated. We handle retroactive filings for expats, rental property owners and business owners who were not aware of their obligations. The sooner you regularise, the better the outcome.
