However, post-Brexit non-residents are taxed at <strong>24% IRNR<\/strong> on rental income with no expense deductibility, compared with the 19% rate (with deductions) available to EU and EEA residents.\n\nOur complete walkthrough of the conveyancing process is in our 2026 guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/delaguialuzon.com\/en\/blog\/buying-property-spain\/\">buying a property in Spain<\/a>, with the regional cost variations addressed in <a href=\"https:\/\/delaguialuzon.com\/en\/blog\/spain-regional-property-taxes\/\">Spain regional property taxes<\/a>.\n\nUK property investors looking to optimise transaction costs may also benefit from our note on <a href=\"https:\/\/delaguialuzon.com\/en\/blog\/legal-fees-buying-spanish-property\/\">legal fees for buying Spanish property<\/a>.\n<h3>UK driving licences in Spain<\/h3>\nThe UK-Spain driving licence agreement lapsed in 2022 and was only partially restored. The current 2026 framework operates as follows:\n<ul>\n \t<li><strong>Withdrawal Agreement holders<\/strong>: the temporary recognition arrangement permits the exchange of UK licences for the relevant transition window.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Post-Brexit residents<\/strong>: must pass the Spanish theory and practical exams within six months of obtaining residency.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Visitors<\/strong>: can drive on a UK licence for the duration of their permitted stay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Inheritance, divorce and family law for British expats<\/h2>\nCross-border family law is among the most technically demanding areas affecting <strong>British expats in Spain<\/strong>.\n\nThe absence of a UK-Spain inheritance tax treaty, the interaction between English and Spanish succession law and the distinct regimes governing matrimonial property require integrated planning.\n<h3>Inheritance and Spanish succession law<\/h3>\nSpanish nationals are subject to forced heirship rules under the Civil Code, with reserved portions for descendants and surviving spouses.\n\nUK nationals may elect English law to govern their estate by virtue of EU Regulation 650\/2012 (Brussels IV), which Spain applies even though the UK has not opted in.\n\nTo preserve testamentary freedom and minimise the Spanish ISD burden, UK residents in Spain typically execute a <strong>Spanish will<\/strong> covering their Spanish-located assets and electing English law to govern succession.\n\nOur specialist note on the role of an <a href=\"https:\/\/delaguialuzon.com\/en\/blog\/international-inheritance-lawyer\/\">international inheritance lawyer<\/a> sets out the planning options.\n<h3>Cross-border divorce<\/h3>\nUK-Spanish couples facing divorce navigate questions of jurisdiction, applicable law, financial provision and recognition of UK orders in Spain. Our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/delaguialuzon.com\/en\/blog\/divorce-spain-for-expats\/\">divorce in Spain for expats<\/a> addresses the post-Brexit framework, including the loss of automatic Brussels IIa coordination and the increased reliance on the Hague Convention.\n<h2>What has changed for British expats in 2026<\/h2>\nFive years after the end of the transition period, the 2026 framework reflects a series of cumulative reforms that affect both incoming UK nationals and the existing community.\n<h3>Key 2024 to 2026 reforms<\/h3>\n<ul>\n \t<li><strong>EES rollout (October 2025)<\/strong>: biometric registration of all non-EU entries and exits across the Schengen Area, replacing manual passport stamping.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>ETIAS (expected late 2026)<\/strong>: pre-travel authorisation requirement for visa-exempt third-country nationals, including UK passport holders.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Closure of the Golden Visa (3 April 2025)<\/strong>: residency-by-investment via real estate ended for new applicants under Organic Law 1\/2025.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Royal Decree 1312\/2024<\/strong>: new national tourist registry for short-term rentals, applicable from 1 July 2025.

UK nationals can relocate to Spain through standard third-country immigration routes, including the Non-Lucrative Visa, Digital Nomad Visa, Entrepreneur Visa and family reunification routes. The pre-Brexit free-movement right is no longer available, so a visa application from outside Spain is normally the first step.\n<h3>What rights do Withdrawal Agreement holders retain in 2026?<\/h3>\nUK nationals legally resident in Spain before 31 December 2020 and registered with the Spanish authorities under the Withdrawal Agreement retain extensive EU-equivalent rights, including residency, family reunification, healthcare access on broadly the same terms as before Brexit and social security coordination.\n<h3>How is Spanish tax residency determined?<\/h3>\nYou become a Spanish tax resident if you spend more than 183 days in Spain in a calendar year, if Spain is your centre of economic interests, or if your spouse and dependent children reside in Spain. The UK-Spain Double Taxation Convention provides tie-breaker rules where dual residency arises.\n<h3>Do I need to file a Modelo 720?<\/h3>\nYes, if you are a Spanish tax resident with overseas assets exceeding \u20ac50,000 in any of the three categories (bank accounts, securities, real estate). The 2022 ECJ ruling reformed the penalty regime, but the declaration obligation remains in force.\n<h3>Is the UK state pension taxed in Spain?<\/h3>\nYes. Under Article 17 of the UK-Spain Double Taxation Convention, the UK state pension is taxable only in Spain if you are a Spanish tax resident. The UK government pension exception applies only to civil service, NHS, armed forces, police and similar roles.\n<h3>Can I exchange my UK driving licence for a Spanish one?<\/h3>\nGenerally no for post-Brexit residents. UK driving licences issued before 16 March 2022 may have been exchanged in the limited window that operated under the temporary agreement. Most post-Brexit residents must pass the Spanish theory and practical exams within six months of obtaining residency.\n<h3>How long can I stay in Spain as a visitor without residency?<\/h3>\nUK passport holders can stay in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period as visa-exempt visitors. The EU&#8217;s EES system, live since October 2025, automatically tracks entries and exits, so overstays are now systematically detected.\n<h3>Is the Beckham Law available to British expats in Spain?<\/h3>\nYes. The special expatriate regime under Article 93 of the Spanish IRPF Law applies to qualifying inbound workers, professionals, entrepreneurs, family members and digital nomads who have not been Spanish tax residents in the previous five years. The regime allows non-resident-style 24% taxation on Spanish-source employment income up to \u20ac600,000 for up to six tax years.\n<h3>What happens to my UK ISAs and SIPPs when I move to Spain?<\/h3>\nUK ISAs lose their tax-favoured status on Spanish residency: income and gains become taxable in Spain on a worldwide basis. UK SIPPs are recognised as pensions for treaty purposes, but Spanish treatment of contributions, growth and drawdown can differ materially from the UK position. Specialist sequencing advice before relocation is essential.\n<h3>Will my UK will work in Spain?<\/h3>\nPossibly, but it is rarely optimal. UK nationals resident in Spain typically execute a Spanish will covering Spanish-located assets and elect English law to govern succession under EU Regulation 650\/2012. This preserves testamentary freedom and simplifies probate.\n<h2>Reference list<\/h2>\n<ol>\n \t<li>Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, <em>Foreign Residents Statistics 2025<\/em>:
