In case you have already moved but there is something happening in the UK we can recommend ways to reduce your tax liabilities and even strategies to follow in 2 – 3 years which may help minimising the tax impact or even avoiding tax in Spain always within the laws.
Wether you need advice on Income Tax, Wealth Tax, Solidarity Tax, Inheritance Tax, Gift Tax and wherever you are in Spain, we can provide the necessary advise and assistance in order to reduce your tax liabilities and prepare calculations in advance so you know how much it would be the tax to pay under different scenarios.
Is my pension taxable in Spain? If I receive a lump sum, is it taxable in Spain? How much Income Tax do I pay in Spain? Do I pay Tax in Spain or in the UK? If I sell my property in the UK, do I pay any tax in Spain? Find all the answers to your questions arranging a meeting with us and make sure you are on the right side of the Laws in Spain in order to avoid problems in future.

Steven Bainbridge29 January 2024I’ve been trying to exchange my driving licence from UK to Spanish since 2021. I exchanged my partner’s licence no problem, but the DGT would not exchange mine. Tacs4expats were highly recommended on social media, and so I contacted them asking if they could help. They said they work closely with the DGT, and that they were sure they could complete the exchange for me. They not only managed to get it done, but they also stuck to the original price they quoted - despite all of the problems, the amount of time, and the constant back and forth with DGT I really can’t recommend them enough!! Special thanks to Arantxa for all of her help and patience throughout the whole process. I’m so impressed with their quality of service, I’m going to switch to using them for my taxes this year A big thank you to everyone involved
Antonio J. O.S.27 January 2024Me hacen la renta todos los años, me han hecho varias transferencias de vehículos, herencia, me dan consejos administrativos y legales, etc. Mi confianza en Manuel y su equipo es TOTAL, tengo suerte de ser su cliente.
graham bird12 January 2024Begona and Aranxta helped us with the purchase of a flat. They were very professional and thorough. On the day of completion Begona came to our bank with us. Having her with us was invaluable, she was brilliant, arguing some points for us and assuring we got the best service. They have also very quickly dealt with any queries arising after completion. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Thank you for making the process so smooth.
Martin Adams9 January 2024Tax & Consultancy. Services for Expats, Benijofar, Alicante. We would like to take this opportunity explaining our experience and the services provided by the above names company. Firstly, it’s so important to have an independent solicitor working for you who will act upon any legal, financial and language issues you may come across when living in Spain. Strong advice is that if you’re ever in a position moving homes, it’s recommended NOT to use the Estate Agents Solicitors. Not going into detail, it became apparent communication was very poor and paying costs were found to be much higher than they should be. However, the sales team were excellent. Now having concerns how our admin was going during the move, we made an appointment to see Manuel. At the meeting he explained very clearly everything about how important it is to have a good legal representation and he went through our concerns and background to define whether we were Tax residents or not at the time to sell our property, as initially we were told that we had to pay the 3% fiscal Spanish Tax on top of further Tax to get the move completed in Spain. Manuel, checked our records and told us we did not have to pay the 3% as the Estate Agent stated. A saving that was welcomed. Manuel further explained that he would be on pertinacity leave during our move, so he handed over his services to his colleague Begona. She dealt with the whole process, organised the sale and the purchase plus all the payments that had to be made professionally with always a smile on her face. Nothing was too much trouble. Begona then offered her further services taking on the POA in order to take the stress out from the move. This enable us to focus on the removal of our belongings from one property to another, saving us a further expense, whilst both transactions were signed at the Notary’s Office. We can’t thank Manuel, Begona and the team enough for working so hard to enable a stress free property move. We would fully recommend this company to anyone that may need any legal advice.

paul wilkinson19 December 2023We have recently just bought an Apartment for rental. We use Tacs4Expats for all our Tax and general solicitor type things so it was a no brainer we used them for the conveyancing of this apartment. The seller had been let down a few times previously but luckily for us and them, we were cash buyers so this could in theory all be done quite quickly. I contacted Begoña at TACS4EXPATS and told her the situation and she got onto it straight away. As we were not dealing with an estate agent, i gave her the details of the sellers Solicitor and they both got to work on the purchase. The seller asked and we agreed to a quick sale so i asked Begoña to be as quick as possible, a date was set and that was appx 3 weeks later, we thought perfect. Begoña made sure we were aware of all costs involved with the purchase including may i add a very competitive price for the conveyancing itself! All documents were sent quickly. There was one glitch which was out of ours and Begoñas hands where we were waiting for 2 documents from the seller and without it, the sale would have to be postponed. On the day of completion, the documents were still not here so a postponement was very likely, however, Begoña put a plan in place that if they arrived late, we could still do it. Part of the plan was to speed up the payments needed to be done in the bank which she accompanied us and did it all in Spanish with the bank and something that would have taken us ages to do was done in 20 mins, then we went to the notary, did some last minute recaps of what we were doing and then we had the keys. All in all, a fantastic service from TACS4EXPATS and especially Begoña. Thank you Paul & Jane
Gerald Turner18 December 2023Manuel and his team have been doing my tax returns for a few years now. They are very friendly, efficient and a joy to deal with. They also helped me with the purchase of my house and did far more than I expected, sorting out the utility bills, getting me on the padrón.etc. A great team and I highly recommend them to everyone who is living in Spain or own property there.
Mary Margaret Adamson Leigh1 October 2023I have been working with TACS4expats for some 15 years now and cannot fault their service. The advice I have been provided with both when I was working and now that I am retired has been invaluable and is always given in a friendly and efficient manner. They are always willing to do that little bit extra for their customer, which, in my case, includes adding my digital signature to documents required on a monthly basis for the re-homing of cats in Germany. They have helped make many felines very happy!
Nuria Martinez Serrano25 September 2023Grandes profesionales empezando por Manuel, Begoña y todo su equipo, llevan años ayudándome con todos los impuestos personales y de mi negocio y nunca hemos tenido problemas. Además siempre nos ayudan con antelación a preparar y organizar todo lo que hay que hacer para minimizar los costes e impuestos.
Alan Johnston8 September 2023We recently needed to sell our part share in a villa to the other two owners. Manuel and Begoña handled everything expertly, and made sure that all parties were kept fully informed during the process. In particular, we really appreciated the time they took to explain processes and ensure that we understood all the details, such as timescales, costs etc. beforehand. Their fees were very reasonable and we would highly recommend their services!
Lana S1 September 2023The Spanish regulations can be quite confusing for expats. The wonderful people of “Tax And Consultancy Services For Expats“ really strive to help their clients in the best possible way. A 10 out of 10!
