The Beckham Law (IRNR regime) is the biggest financial benefit of the Spain Digital Nomad Visa — and it has a 6-month deadline that nobody tells you about clearly. Miss it → pay progressive rates up to 47% instead. Apply on time → pay 24% flat on income up to €600,000/year for up to 6 tax years. On a €60,000/year salary that's roughly €8,000-12,000 saved annually. The full breakdown is pinned below. Read it before you register with Agencia Tributaria.
