FAQ

Frequently asked questions about international taxation and tax defense

What is the difference between a traditional tax advisor and a tax lawyer in Mallorca?

A general tax advisor typically focuses on recurring accounting management, filing tax returns, and the day-to-day bookkeeping of a company or self-employed individual. In contrast, a tax lawyer in Mallorca possesses a solid legal background essential for a thorough interpretation of current regulations and, above all, for providing legal representation before the Tax Agency. At Resitax, we combine both disciplines: we offer you the peace of mind of keeping your ordinary tax affairs up-to-date, but with the added legal expertise to appeal parallel assessments, confidently handle a tax audit in the Balearic Islands, or design complex national and international wealth planning structures.

Changing your tax residence is a critical process, especially for high-net-worth individuals, foreign investors, and expatriates. A tax lawyer in Palma de Mallorca will thoroughly analyze your case to avoid double taxation and determine precisely when you become a tax resident in Spain (the 183-day criterion or the center of economic interests). Furthermore, we will assess whether you qualify for attractive incentives such as the Special Regime for Expatriates, widely known as the Beckham Law in Mallorca, which allows you to pay a very low flat tax rate of 24% on your employment income.

As a firm specializing in international taxation in Mallorca, we provide comprehensive advice to foreign citizens (primarily British, German, and American) who own or wish to acquire real estate on the island. Our services range from tax planning for property transactions—including coordinating Property Transfer Tax (ITP) and VAT—to ensuring compliance with recurring obligations, such as Non-Resident Income Tax (IRNR). We also structure asset holdings to optimize the impact of Wealth Tax and coordinate future inheritance transfers through international succession procedures adapted to Balearic civil law.
Receiving a tax assessment or proposed penalty from the Tax Authorities creates significant uncertainty. At Resitax, as specialists in tax litigation in Mallorca, we immediately assume the technical and legal representation of taxpayers. Our team of tax lawyers handles the preparation and filing of appeals, motions for reconsideration, and administrative claims before the relevant courts. The goal is to overturn arbitrary assessments, minimize the impact of penalty proceedings, and guarantee maximum legal security for your assets or business.
Yes, an international focus is one of the pillars of our firm. We understand that fluid communication is vital for coordinating an efficient tax strategy in multi-jurisdictional environments. Therefore, at our office in Palma de Mallorca, we offer tax advisory services in English, German, and Spanish. This allows us to analyze international treaties, interact with professionals from other countries, and explain the Spanish legal and tax framework with absolute technical clarity, ensuring that your cross-border wealth management decisions are free from unforeseen risks.
