Lucia Mendez Ortega

Lucia has five years of experience in personal and non-resident taxation. She joined BMC in 2023, where she advises high-net-worth individuals, expatriates, and international executives on Spanish tax residence, personal taxation, and obligations to declare overseas assets.

Her work includes processing elections into the Beckham Law special regime for workers relocating to Spain, filing IRNR returns for holders of Spanish-source income and real estate, and managing Modelo 720 and Modelo 721 declarations covering overseas assets and cryptocurrency holdings. She has a thorough grasp of Spanish tax residence thresholds and the AEAT’s criteria in dual-residence situations, allowing her to identify contingencies before a client changes their personal or asset circumstances.

Her command of Portuguese enables her to liaise directly with tax advisers in Portugal and Brazil on private client matters with Lusophone connections — a practical asset for families with assets or business interests across that region.
