BMC Alicante

Alicante and the Costa Blanca are home to one of the largest expatriate communities in Spain. British, Scandinavian, German and Dutch nationals have settled in municipalities from Torrevieja and Orihuela Costa in the south to Javea, Altea and Calpe in the north, creating a specific and substantial demand for tax and legal services: international property buyers, non-resident landlords earning rental income in Spain, high-earning professionals relocating under the Beckham Law, and cross-border heirs managing estates across multiple jurisdictions. BMC established its Alicante representation to serve this community with the specialist knowledge it requires, handling non-resident income tax (IRNR) and wealth tax obligations with deep familiarity with the specific situations that arise in the province — from the treatment of co-ownership arrangements to the interaction between Spanish succession law and UK or German inheritance rules.

Relocating to Spain as a tax resident — whether permanently or for several years — opens significant planning opportunities for those who qualify for the Beckham Law regime: international executives, senior tech and finance professionals, digital nomads and highly qualified workers who choose the Costa Blanca as their base. From Alicante, we advise through the entire application process for the special impatriate regime, manage the immigration and work permit procedures required, and coordinate with our real estate law team for clients who are purchasing property in the region at the same time as relocating. We also work with property developers and real estate agencies that need a reliable tax advisor for their international buyer base, providing buyer-side due diligence and post-completion tax registration services.

The Alicante representation operates by appointment, with meetings available in Alicante city or at locations along the Costa Blanca to suit the client. It is supported by the Madrid headquarters and our Marbella office — which serves a similar client profile on the Costa del Sol — allowing coordinated advice across complex matters involving multiple jurisdictions or service areas. For international clients with interests on Spain’s eastern Mediterranean coast, BMC Alicante offers the specialist expertise and national firm backing that the market requires.
