Being a cross-border citizen or worker in the Cerdanya region, located on the border between Spain and France, offers a number of unique advantages and opportunities. The area offers a high quality of life, with a fabulous natural environment, outdoor activities, a rich gastronomic culture and a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Its privileged geographical position attracts people from both sides of the border.
Job opportunities
For the purposes of double taxation treaties, the term frontier workers includes workers who, being domiciled in the frontier zone of one of the States, to which they return each day, are authorized to work as employees in the frontier zone of the other State.
Cross-border workers have the advantage of access to job opportunities in both Spain and France. This broadens their job possibilities and allows for greater flexibility in their job search. In addition, having income from two countries can offer greater financial stability and diversified investment opportunities.
In addition, cross-border citizens often have access to health and education services in both countries, allowing them to choose the best options for their needs.
Importance of specialized consulting
Taking full advantage of the benefits of being a cross-border citizen or worker in La Cerdanya requires a thorough knowledge of tax, labor and administrative laws in both Spain and France. It is here, where a specialized consultancy plays a fundamental role.
