Re: Beckham/Non-resident Paradox!

Something will only go wrong if you havent done it properly

Personally, with something like the Beckham law I would have contracted an employment lawyer to make sure you were doing everything by the...

Re: Spain urged to change its long hours and late night culture

Come on, it is very different in Spain. I live in the middle of a city and nothing is open on a Sunday. Well, only the restaurants

It's great - and I am the least religious person in the world

Re: Spain urged to change its long hours and late night culture

Sure that is fine

It also has to be recognised that some people contribute more in 1 hour than others will do in a 50 hour working week

Re: Crisis or no crisis, sales of top-quality Spanish cured ham are on the rise

Yes the trade surplus is a result of Spaniards importing less from other countries, but it is still fairly positive news

We already know that people in Spain can afford to buy less, that is not new...

Re: Spain urged to change its long hours and late night culture

I find it strange that we should all aspire to work every day of our lives for as long as possible and with as few days off as possible

And that people who decide to earn less money and/or take more...

Re: IBEX 35 (^IBEX)

Rafael Nadal is the "entity" that pays the 5th largest amount of tax in Spain. Simply because she chooses to reside in Mallorca and not in a tax haven

Take that in for a second, there are only 4...

Re: How far would 28,000 euros go in Madrid?

While I appreciate your positivity at times steviedeluxe. Being positive about everything all the time is simply trolling, and most of the time you only use an obscure google link to back up your...

Re: How far would 28,000 euros go in Madrid?

Sure Madrid is cheaper than in London, but I for sure wouldnt advise anybody to move to London if they are going to be bring in less than £1400 after tax between the two of them! You would be living...

Re: Spain urged to change its long hours and late night culture

Its a complicated topic

On one hand, Spaniards have the highest rate of smartphone use in Europe, so they definitely like their gadgets - but on the other hand, they dont buy a new TV or a new car...

Re: How far would 28,000 euros go in Madrid?

No its not. The average Spanish salary is 24k euros per year, so it is slightly higher than that - and in Madrid 28k would be about the average salary

And if your partner isnt working then you would...

Re: Are we to blame for Bangladesh factory collapse?

Yes - and also to the welfare of the animals we eat. Which is why we buy locally, and the vegetables we eat either come from the huertas of our family members or from family-run market stalls, the...

Re: Declaring worldwide assets to Hacienda

Re: Declaring worldwide assets to Hacienda

Yes, you will need to declare the interest depending on when it was paid remembering that the Spanish tax year is Jan-Dec, so you have to go and do all the calculations manually as you cannot rely on...

Re: Spain's insolvent - get your money out!

Re: Pregnant and need help with medical care and what to do next

They scrapped the cheque bebe and 2 years of free social security. That totals 9,000 Euros worth of help which people used to get, but not any more

Re: Pregnant and need help with medical care and what to do next

That advice is out of date I'm afraid.

Rajoy scrapped that help about 1 year ago. My wife was benefiting from it, but suddenly payments started coming out of her account again, she asked the social...

Re: If you want to see where Spain is headed, take a long look at Jerez

Yes, at least they are sentencing these people now. Still 4.5 years is a small price to pay when the mayor's extended family will probably be set up for life

Re: Schooling and Living in Competa
