The exemption under Article 7 p) of the Personal Income Tax Law (LIRPF) requires that the work be effectively performed abroad for a non-resident entity in a country with an analogous tax system that is not a tax haven.

Allowances for subsistence expenses may be considered specific remuneration and be subject to the exemption, with a limit of 60,100 euros per year.
