Beckham Law in Seville
The Beckham Law in Seville
Autonomous community: Andalucía
Seville shares Andalusia’s rules with Málaga: the same regional scale and the same full wealth-tax relief. What differs is the profile. Aerospace, engineering and university roles are common, and salaries are often in the range where the regime needs a proper comparison rather than a reflex.
That is not a reason to skip it. It is a reason to run your numbers with your family situation before paying anyone to file.
What the regime is worth in Seville
Illustrative annual figures for a single employee with no other income, computed with the Andalucía scale, the one that applies to residents of Seville. Positive savings mean the regime pays; where the standard tax is already below 24% the cell says so.
| Gross salary | Standard IRPF | Standard effective rate | Beckham (24%) | Saving / year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| €60,000 | €14,600 | 24.4% | €14,400 | €200 |
| €80,000 | €23,100 | 28.9% | €19,200 | €3,900 |
| €100,000 | €32,100 | 32.1% | €24,000 | €8,100 |
| €120,000 | €41,100 | 34.2% | €28,800 | €12,300 |
| €150,000 | €54,500 | 36.3% | €36,000 | €18,500 |
| €200,000 | €77,000 | 38.5% | €48,000 | €29,000 |
Illustrative figures computed with the same engine as the calculator: single taxpayer, employment income only, individual personal allowance (€5,550), employee Social Security contributions (6.5% up to the 2026 maximum base), standard deductible expenses (€2,000), no family or regional deductions, state scale plus the regional scale of the community where the city sits (AEAT, tax year 2025 scales, the latest published). Rounded to the nearest €100. Regime: 24% up to €600,000, 47% above.
Particular to Seville
A moderate regional scale
Andalusia’s regional scale tops out at 22.5% from €60,000. At €80,000 the illustrative saving is a few thousand euros; at €120,000 it is substantial.
Moderate salaries: compare first
Below roughly €60,000, or with two or three dependants, the standard IRPF with its allowances can be cheaper than 24% with none. The calculator returns “not worth it” when that happens; take it seriously.
Wealth tax: full regional relief
Andalusia relieves the regional wealth tax in full. The state large-fortunes tax applies above €3 million of net assets.
Remote workers
A growing number of remote employees of foreign companies choose Seville for the cost of living. The telework route applies; the deadline starts at Social Security registration.
What does not change with the city
- The rate: 24% on employment income up to €600,000 and 47% above, wherever in Spain you live (outside the Basque Country and Navarre).
- The requirements: no Spanish tax residence in the previous five tax years, a qualifying reason for the move, and Modelo 149 within six months of your Social Security registration.
- The duration: the tax year of the move plus the five following years.
- What you give up: personal and family allowances and most deductions, which is why the regime can lose at moderate incomes or with several dependants.

Frequently asked questions
At what salary does the Beckham Law start to pay in Seville?
In our illustrative single-taxpayer table, the Andalusian saving turns clearly positive around €70,000 to €80,000. With dependants the threshold moves up, because family allowances only exist under the standard IRPF.
Does it matter that my employer is a university or a public body?
Not for the regime: any employment contract with a Spanish employer qualifies, public or private, as long as the other requirements are met and the deadline is respected.
