Re: Buying a rural property: when is a house a legal house?

As has been said here many times before...

Rent first. The money you spend on renting for a year will be money well spent.

You don't just get to know the local climate, customs, people, costs...

Re: Social Security and Taxation Self Employed

In short...

That would be 28% of 70% of your declared net earnings. Then you can claim personal/family costs unrelated to any business activity. So, an average guess would be somewhere around 14%...

Re: Simple numero contribuinte question?

Thank you.

I'll ask more questions at the tax office Monday. I suspected it was similar to the UK with people being issued an 'emergency' number as a temporary measure. Tax office people in Lisbon...

Re: Christmas/New Year break - Lisbon

Many tourists miss this simply because it is up the hill. Very little public transport connections, except the legendary Nº28 (Golden) tram. If you don't mind walking up hill through...

Re: 'Cottage Industry', Worldwide postage from Galicia?

I often post 100cm x 8cm tubes to the USA from Spain and Portugal. Portugal PO charges are slightly more than in Spain (Spain just under €30, Portugal just over). A few years ago pricing changed from...

Re: Granada

I am possibly an exception. I am one of those artists who are prepared to work. I also know how to sell - a skill fundamentally much more important than your artistic ability.

Re: Non-resident, no insurance, minor healthcare question?

Cutting to the quick...

A return to Spain would cost around €150 in travel minimum (whichever way I look at it). Three days in time all told (if lucky). Two nights accommodation etc. So, around...
