Registration & paperwork
NIE vs TIE, empadronamiento at the town hall, and the Social Security number — what each is for, where to get it, and the practical order for a new arrival (2026).
What actually comes out of a Spanish payslip
IRPF progressive income tax, employee social-security contributions, the 183-day residency rule and the Beckham regime — a 2026 orientation for employees, with official sources.
The Spanish contract you’re signing, decoded
