Consult a cross-border tax specialist before moving — time asset disposals to minimise Spanish tax exposure

The months before you become Spanish tax resident are the cheapest tax advice you'll ever buy: timing a sale, a bonus, or a pension event to land on the right side of the residency line can matter enormously. This is Get Camino's strong recommendation, not a legal step — a cross-border specialist who knows both systems is the point, not just any adviser.
WHEN IT'S DUE
Due 180 days before you arrive in Spain.
WHY IT MATTERS
Strongly advised, though not strictly mandatory. Get Camino’s practical recommendation — not a legal requirement. How strongly we suggest it is shown by its priority; confirm the specifics for your own case.
LOLA'S TIP
If in doubt, a gestor can prepare this in a day — cheap insurance against a mis-filing.
Where does this fall in your move?
Whether this step even applies — and when it's due — depends on your passport, work, family and plans. Answer a few questions and Get Camino builds your full roadmap, every step in the right order with real deadlines.
