Moving to Mallorca changes many things. The pace of life, the climate, the surroundings. And also, although it’s not always talked about, the way you have to manage your assets. <\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

The rules of the financial game are not the same in Spain as in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, or the Netherlands. Products you had in your home country don’t always work the same way here. Taxation is different. And if you have assets in your country of origin and also in Spain, there are specific obligations to fulfill that many foreigners are unaware of until the tax authorities come knocking. <\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

This is not a situation to be alarmed about. It is simply a situation that should be well understood in order to make informed decisions from the outset. <\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

What changes to your assets when you become a tax resident in Spain?<\/span><\/h2>

<\/span><\/p>

This is the first point to understand, and it’s more important than it seems. When you become a tax resident in Spain, you stop paying taxes only on what you own or earn here: you’re taxed on your worldwide income and assets. That includes bank accounts you left in your home country, investment funds you didn’t sell when you moved, and the house that’s still yours there. <\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

The good news is that Spain has double taxation agreements with most European countries and many others worldwide. These agreements determine which country taxes each type of income and prevent you from paying taxes twice on the same income. The key is knowing how to apply them correctly to your specific situation. <\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

Furthermore, if you have assets abroad exceeding certain thresholds, you are subject to reporting obligations to the Spanish Tax Agency. Failure to comply can have serious consequences. However, being aware of these obligations in advance makes the situation perfectly manageable. <\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

Why you need an independent wealth advisor, not a bank one<\/span><\/h2>

<\/span><\/p>

There are two types of financial advisors: those who work for a specific institution and those who work for the client. The difference is significant. <\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

An advisor affiliated with a bank has a limited product catalog, restricted to that bank’s offerings. It might be a good catalog, but it’s theirs. An independent wealth advisor, on the other hand, has access to solutions from multiple institutions and chooses, without any conflict of interest, the one that best suits your specific situation. <\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

I work with entities regulated by the CNMV and the DGSFP, the supervisory bodies for the financial and insurance markets in Spain. This means that the products we use are supervised, transparent, and have guarantees that not all products on the market offer. <\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

For someone arriving in Mallorca with assets accumulated in another country, this point is especially important. Because there are those who take advantage of your unfamiliarity with the local system to push products that aren’t the best fit for you. Having advised over 700 clients, with a 5.0 rating on Google, is no accident: it’s the result of doing things properly, without shortcuts. <\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

What does wealth management cover for a foreign resident in Mallorca?<\/span><\/h2>

<\/span><\/p>

There’s no single model, because everyone’s situation is different. Some have significant assets invested in their home country and want to know how to structure them from Spain. Others have just sold a business and need to know where and how to invest that capital most efficiently. Still others simply want to know if their savings are well-placed and if they’re taking advantage of the tax benefits they’re entitled to. <\/span><\/p>

<\/span><\/p>

In general, wealth management for foreigners in Mallorca usually includes:<\/span><\/p>
