Terms of Service

Last updated: 28 August 2026 · Version: v1.0

These Terms apply to EasyBeckhamLawSpain as part of the Easy Legal Spain group of digital legal services, operated by Expat Abogados (Juan Antonio Bertomeu Vallés, ICALI #4643, in practice since 1991). The Terms that govern your engagement are those in force on the day you contract the service — a later version does not change what you agreed to.

These Terms govern the relationship between you (the Client) and the service provider identified below in connection with the application for, and annual compliance under, the Spanish special tax regime for workers posted to Spanish territory — commonly known as the Beckham Law — under Article 93 of the Spanish Personal Income Tax Act (LIRPF).

1. Service provider

Provider (current entity): Juan Antonio Bertomeu Vallés, lawyer in active practice, registered with the Bar Association of Alicante (ICALI) as member #4643 since 1991, and Spanish Tax Authority Collaborator (AEAT Colaborador Social) since 7 November 2017.
Professional civil liability insurance: policy #8-6.543.984, active and in force.
Future entity: Expat Abogados y Asesores Fiscales S.L.P. (incorporation in progress). Continuity of all contractual relationships is guaranteed upon transition, and registration details will be published in the Legal Notice.

Full identification details, offices and supervisory body are set out in our Legal Notice.

2. Nature and scope of the service

We provide professional legal and tax representation in relation to the special regime of Article 93 LIRPF. Specifically, we assess your eligibility, prepare and file the application (Modelo 149) before the Spanish Tax Agency (AEAT), and — where separately contracted — prepare and file your annual return under the regime (Modelo 151).

We sell professional work performed to a proper standard, not a particular outcome. No lawyer or tax adviser can guarantee how the AEAT will decide a given application. What we guarantee is that the application is prepared, documented and argued to the standard of a lawyer in active practice, and that we defend it if it is challenged, on the terms set out in sections 11 and 12.

3. What is included

An eligibility assessment before anything is filed — review of your employment or directorship arrangement, your start date, your residence history for the preceding years, and the circumstances that most commonly defeat an application (section 5).
Preparation and filing of Modelo 149, with the supporting documentation, through our AEAT Colaborador Social access.
The first request for correction or clarification issued by the AEAT in relation to that filing (requerimiento de subsanación) — see section 12.
The first administrative appeal if the regime is denied (recurso de reposición) — see section 11.
Delivery of the filed forms, the AEAT acknowledgement of receipt, and the resolution when it is issued.
Correspondence with us in English or Spanish throughout the engagement.

4. What is NOT included

The following fall outside the scope of this engagement. They are not refusals — several of them are services we can quote for separately — but they are not covered by the fee you pay here:

Immigration and visa matters of any kind, including work permits, residence authorisations and their renewals.
Registration with Spanish Social Security and any related employment formalities.
Your tax return in your country of origin, and any filing obligation outside Spain.
Tax advice relating to your country of origin and the application of double taxation treaties — including the determination of treaty residence or the relief available under a treaty.
Wealth, estate or succession planning arising from your change of residence, including wills, trusts and gift structuring.
The declaration of assets held abroad (Modelo 720 / Modelo 721) and other informative obligations.
The obligations of your employer — withholdings, registrations, payroll and reporting. Our client is you as an individual, not the company that employs you.
Waiver of, or exclusion from, the regime in later years (renuncia or exclusión), and the consequences of either.
Tax audits, verification procedures and inspections, and any appeal beyond the first one described in section 11.

5. Eligibility assessment — and what happens if you do not qualify

Before we file anything, we assess whether you meet the requirements of Article 93 LIRPF. If that assessment concludes that you do not qualify, we tell you, we do not file, and we refund what you paid less the eligibility study fee — €150 on the €595 services, and €250 on the €1,200 service, where the review is carried out by a lawyer and the corporate circumstances are substantially more complex.

This retention is disclosed to you before you pay, on the payment screen itself — not only here. The assessment is real professional work: it is the reason we do not charge you to pursue an application that is going to fail.

6. Professional Engagement Letter

The formality of the engagement depends on the service, because the complexity and the amount at stake differ:

€595 services (employee and digital nomad): engagement is concluded electronically at checkout by ticking the acceptance box (click-wrap). We record the exact text you accepted, its version, a hash of that text, the server timestamp and your IP address, and we can produce that record on request.
€1,200 service (director) and the complex Modelo 151: a separate Professional Engagement Letter is signed before work begins. These engagements involve lawyer review and corporate circumstances, and a signed letter is what any serious practice requires for them.

7. Your account

You need an account to submit documents and follow your file. You are responsible for the accuracy of the details you provide and for keeping your access credentials confidential. Creating an account does not by itself create a professional relationship: that begins when you contract a service under section 6.

8. Your obligations

Provide complete, accurate and truthful information and documentation, including your employment or appointment documentation, your Social Security registration and your residence history for the years preceding your move.
Tell us promptly if any circumstance changes during the engagement — your start date, your role, your employer, or your residence.
Respond to our requests for documents within the time we indicate. Where a legal deadline is at stake, a delay on your side may make it impossible to meet it (section 10).
Keep the documentation supporting your application. The AEAT may request it years after the regime is granted.

9. Fees and payment

Fees are those displayed on the site at the time of contracting and are payable in advance. The current fees are €595 for the employee and digital-nomad applications, €1,200 for the director application, €395 for the simple annual Modelo 151 and €650 for the complex one.

Payments are processed by our payment provider; we do not store your card details. Any procedure that falls outside the scope of section 3 — a verification procedure, an inspection, an appeal beyond the first — is quoted to you in writing and only carried out once you accept that quote.

10. Service delivery timeline

We file your Modelo 149 within 5 business days from the moment your documentation is complete and verified — not from the moment you pay. If a document is missing or an answer is outstanding, the clock has not started, and we tell you exactly what is missing.

The statutory deadline is yours, not ours, and it is short. The application must be filed within six months of the start date recorded in your Spanish Social Security registration. If you come to us with less than 30 days of margin before that deadline expires, we will still take the engagement and do everything we can — but we cannot guarantee filing within the deadline, and we tell you so before you pay.

For the annual Modelo 151, we contact you 45 days before your filing window closes. We guarantee filing within the statutory period provided you give us your data at least 15 business days before that period ends.

11. If the AEAT denies the regime

The fee covers the professional work performed and is not refunded if the AEAT denies the application. That is the position of any professional practice, and it is the honest one: the decision belongs to the tax authority, and nobody can sell you a guarantee over it.

What we do include is the first administrative appeal (recurso de reposición) against that denial, at no additional cost. If the denial is the result of an error on our part, we fix it at our expense.

Proceedings before the Economic-Administrative Tribunal (TEAR) and any higher instance are outside this engagement and are quoted separately.

Note that this section applies where the application has been filed. Where our assessment concludes in advance that you do not qualify, section 5 applies instead and you are refunded less the study fee.

12. Requests from the AEAT and subsequent procedures

The first request for correction or clarification (requerimiento de subsanación) relating to your application — typically a missing or unclear document — is included in the fee. Charging separately for it would be charging twice for the same engagement.

Verification procedures, tax audits, inspections and any other distinct procedure are separate matters that consume substantial professional time. They are quoted in writing before any work begins, and you decide whether to instruct us.

13. The annual Modelo 151

While you are under the regime you must file an annual return (Modelo 151). This is contracted year by year. We do not enrol you in an automatic renewal and we do not store a payment method to charge you again: each year you decide.

What we do is remind you. 45 days before your filing window closes we contact you with the dates and a link so that renewing takes one click and forgetting takes an effort.

14. Client funds

We do not hold client funds in connection with this service. Any tax payable under the regime is paid by you directly to the AEAT, from your own account. We never ask you to transfer tax money to us.

15. Limitation of liability

We are liable for damage caused by our own professional negligence, covered by the professional civil liability insurance identified in section 1. To the extent permitted by Spanish law, our liability is limited to the amount of the fee paid for the service concerned, except in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence, where no such limit applies.

We are not liable for:

The decision of the AEAT on an application properly prepared and filed.
Consequences arising from information or documentation you provided that was incomplete, inaccurate or untrue.
Deadlines missed because documentation was provided late, or because you instructed us with less than 30 days of margin (section 10).
Matters expressly excluded from scope in section 4.

Nothing in these Terms limits your rights as a consumer under Spanish law, or our professional obligations as members of the Bar.

16. Intellectual property

The content, software, design and branding of EasyBeckhamLawSpain belong to the service provider and are protected by Spanish and EU intellectual property law. The documents and data you upload remain yours; we process them only to deliver the service, as described in our Privacy Policy.

17. Right of withdrawal (Articles 102 and 103 RDL 1/2007)

As a consumer contracting at a distance, you would normally have a 14-day withdrawal period under Article 102 of Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007.

Read this carefully, because in this particular service that period can cost you the regime itself. The application must be filed within six months of your Social Security start date. If we wait fourteen days before beginning work, an application that is already close to that deadline can become impossible to file in time — and the loss would be the entire tax regime you moved country for.

For that reason, and only if you choose it, you may expressly ask us to begin work immediately, on the understanding that once the service has been fully performed you will no longer be able to withdraw — the exception in Article 103(a) RDL 1/2007. You make that request through a separate tick box of its own at checkout — never bundled into your acceptance of these Terms, and never pre-ticked — set out in a highlighted box before the payment button, which reads:

I expressly ask Expat Abogados to begin work on my application immediately, without waiting for the 14-day withdrawal period to pass. I acknowledge that once the service has been fully performed — that is, once Form 149 has been filed with the Spanish Tax Agency — I will no longer have a right to withdraw.

Ticking it is optional and it is not a condition of contracting. If you leave this unticked you keep your full 14-day withdrawal right, and we will not begin work until those 14 days have passed. We will tell you whether your deadline survives the wait. In that case the delivery time in section 10 begins when those 14 days end.

And if you change your mind in the middle, you are not trapped. If you change your mind after we have started but before Form 149 is filed, you can still withdraw. You then pay only for the work already carried out, in proportion to the service as a whole, calculated on the total price agreed. That is what Article 108.4 RDL 1/2007 provides, and it applies whether or not you asked us to start early. If we have not started, you are refunded in full.

How to withdraw

You do not need a particular form of words. Tell us within the period, by any means that leaves a record — an email to legal@expatabogados.com is enough — stating that you withdraw from the contract. We will acknowledge receipt without delay and refund what is due within 14 calendar days of being informed, using the same means of payment you used, at no cost to you.

If you prefer to use a form, you may copy the statutory model withdrawal form:

To Expat Abogados (Juan Antonio Bertomeu Vallés), Calle Doctor Calatayud nº39, 03724 Moraira (Alicante), Spain — legal@expatabogados.com: I hereby give notice that I withdraw from my contract for the provision of the following service: [service]. Ordered on: [date]. Name of consumer: [name]. Address of consumer: [address]. Signature (only if this form is notified on paper). Date: [date].

18. Refunds

You do not qualify: full refund less the eligibility study fee (€150 or €250), disclosed before payment — section 5.
We cannot take your case for reasons not attributable to you (a circumstance outside our scope, a conflict of interest): full refund.
The application was filed and the AEAT denied it: no refund; the first appeal is included — section 11.
Quality complaints: write to us and we will deal with it. Refund decisions are documented and reasoned, and section 19 remains open to you.

19. Complaints and ICALI oversight

As a lawyer registered with the Bar Association of Alicante (ICALI), the service provider is subject to its deontological oversight. If you believe our service has not met professional standards, contact us first — most matters are resolved directly — and, if you are not satisfied, you may address ICALI, whose details appear in our Legal Notice. You may also use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform.

20. Privacy and confidentiality

Everything you tell us is covered by professional secrecy. How we process your personal data, on what legal basis, for how long we keep it and how you exercise your rights is set out in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

21. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or end the engagement if the information provided proves to be untrue, if we are asked to act in a way that conflicts with our professional obligations, or if a conflict of interest appears. Where the engagement ends for a reason not attributable to you, we refund the part of the fee corresponding to work not performed. You may end the engagement at any time; work already performed is chargeable.

22. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. Each version carries its date and version number, and the accepted text is recorded with its hash at the moment of acceptance. The Terms that govern your engagement are the ones in force on the day you contracted it — a later change does not apply retroactively to work already instructed.

23. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by Spanish law. Any dispute is subject to the courts of the consumer's domicile where Spanish consumer law so provides, and otherwise to the courts of Alicante, Spain.

24. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force, and the invalid provision is replaced by a valid one that most closely reflects its purpose.
