Q : What are the advantages of
being a
Spanish resident?
A : Tax wise, a long discussion can be held on this subject,
depending on individual cases. In general, if you live and work
here, there are substantial benefits. You will find that quite a
lot of bureaucratical things go a lot faster, and capital gains
tax is a lot less if you sell your first property. See more on
our Spanish Residency section
