🔴April 2025 – Your opportunity to reside in Spain 🇪🇸 Part 2
By: Antonio Villena
🔴Why don’t we pay taxes if we apply for the Digital Nomad residency in April 2025?
👉Here’s how this little-known legal benefit works:
If you apply for the Digital Nomad residency in April 2025, the Spanish Tax Agency (Hacienda) will evaluate your annual income but divide it over the 12 months of the year. What’s the result?
✅Your average monthly income will be below the minimum threshold required to pay taxes, so you won’t owe any.
✅In your first year, you’ll only pay €86 in social security contributions.
✅After completing one year with the residency, you can switch to a permit that allows you to work in Spain.
With this switch, you’ll continue paying very low taxes—or possibly none at all.
Social security contributions will also remain at a minimum rate.
▶In summary:
👌You register in April → you’re taxed for only 9 months → after one year, you change your residency → you get a 4-year work permit → you still pay little or no tax → before this residency expires, you’re eligible for permanent residency
