Under Spanish law there are numerous different tax allowances that can be applied for if you are a resident of the country.  Tax allowances based on age, the number of children in the household, marital status and disabilities can be applied for.

Beckham Law is another allowance that provides a tax break for those who are relocating to Spain to work.
