Our team of tax experts helps resolve issues like double taxation, residency complications, and filing mistakes - with tailored strategies based on your pension type and region.
Are You a Tax Resident in Spain? Why It Matters for Your Pension
Your tax residency status in Spain determines whether your worldwide income, including your pension, is taxable.
If you spend more than 183 days in Spain per year, you’re likely considered a tax resident - and must report all global income.
Many expats unknowingly trigger tax residency or misunderstand how it affects their obligations.
Tytle’s tax advisors help you determine your residency status, assess your filing requirements, and create a compliant tax strategy that protects your retirement income and peace of mind.
How Foreign Pensions Are Taxed in Spain for Expats
If you're receiving a pension from abroad - like a UK state pension, a US 401(k), or a private scheme - Spain may tax that income depending on your residency status and the tax treaty in place.
Many expats are surprised to learn their foreign pensions are fully taxable in Spain, even if taxed in their home country.
Without proper relief claims or tax planning, you may be subject to double taxation.
Tytle helps you understand how your specific pension is treated and ensures you only pay what’s legally required - not a cent more.
Do Expats Pay Tax on Spanish Pensions? What You Need to Know
Expats who worked in Spain and contributed to a Spanish pension scheme are taxed on those pension payments just like Spanish nationals. If you live in Spain, most foreign pensions are also taxable there - though public-sector pensions are often exempt under tax treaties.
Most pensions are considered regular income and taxed according to Spain’s progressive income tax rates (ranging roughly from 19% to 47%).
Whether you’re receiving a Spanish state pension or a company retirement plan, Tytle’s tax professionals ensure your income is correctly reported and taxed, helping you stay compliant and avoid costly mistakes.
Avoiding Double Taxation on Your Pension Income in Spain
Double taxation is a major concern for expats. Even with tax treaties, it’s not automatic - specific forms and filings are often required.
Whether you're from the UK, US, Germany, or another country, your pension may be taxed both in your home country and in Spain unless you take steps to claim exemptions or credits.
Our tax consultants identify which tax treaties might apply to you, file the correct documents, and apply all allowable deductions - ensuring you don’t pay tax twice on the same income.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, if you are a tax resident in Spain, your worldwide income is generally subject to Spanish income tax, including foreign pensions from the UK, US, or EU. However, the exact treatment depends on the type of pension and the tax treaty Spain has with the source country. For example, private and state pensions are usually taxed in Spain, while some government or civil service pensions may remain taxable only in the country they’re paid from.
Yes, if you're a tax resident in Spain, your UK state pension is fully taxable in Spain and not taxed in the UK, under the UK–Spain tax treaty. Spain has the exclusive right to tax this income, so it must be reported there even though it’s paid from abroad.
Note: UK government pensions (such as those for civil servants, teachers, or military personnel) are typically taxed only in the UK, and exempt from Spanish tax, unless you are also a Spanish citizen. Tytle ensures the correct treatment and reporting of both state and government pensions, so you stay compliant and avoid double taxation issues.
Yes, Spain taxes US retirement income for residents. 401(k), IRA, and Social Security income may be taxed unless excluded under the US -Spain tax treaty.
However, the exact treatment may depend on the type of plan, the timing of distributions, and your US tax residency status. Tytle helps ensure treaty provisions are correctly applied to avoid double taxation and reporting errors.
Avoiding double taxation requires claiming treaty benefits, submitting the right forms, aligning your tax residency status, and coordinating filings in both countries. Tytle handles this entire process for you.
Spain uses progressive tax rates from 19% to 47%. Your rate depends on income level, residency status, and pension type - Tytle helps optimize what you pay.
