It might be a bit breezier but there is no cloud of doom above your head.

Re: Declaring worldwide assets to Hacienda

Does it not concern you that the "government" paid an illegal bribe in the millions to a thief who stole the information from a bank. Who is responsible for the worst crime? People with money...

Re: Declaring worldwide assets to Hacienda

Hear Hear,
If the Germans were running this thing it might work, but I am afraid it will probably be dumped after a couple of years at enormous cost. As for me it has cost €370 in Gestor fees. Just...

Re: Declaring worldwide assets to Hacienda

Just bringing an end to "al portador" cheques will bring in 10X the amount produced by the 720 fiasco. In fact in terms of GDP I suspect the 720 will be negative. There is no way the disparate bits...

Re: Declaring worldwide assets to Hacienda

You cannot vote in Spain even if you are a resident. You get a postal vote for your UK member of parliament.

Re: Declaring worldwide assets to Hacienda

Going non-resident is the first step. The next is moving all the bank accounts so they can't get to the money!

Re: Abandoned British Cars

The idea that the Guardia seizes cars dates back to the days of being able to buy them tax free. When the plates/tax expired the Guardia would put them on a low loader then and there leaving you to...

Re: Inheritance Tax advice

I would second the advice to avoid BF. They sold me a sure fired investment 10 years ago that is worth 85% of its value now and have charged me an annual fee each year plus a fee for the trust fund...

Re: Can anyone tell me why .......

I think the answer is to converse with waiters in Spanish, but if they clearly speak better English than I do it is pointless batting on in Spanish. I also think it would be sensible for restaurants...

Re: Vibrant exports will save Spain, and perhaps the Euro..

ITP are partly owned by Rolls-Royce and their major products are engine parts for A400M military transport and the Typhoon fighter. Not such a good area in this time of reducing military budgets. ...

Re: Can anyone tell me why .......

Your recommendation was good! They didn't have an English menu but then they didn't have a Spanish one either! Plenty of Brits in though including a cycle team.

Re: Movistar ... Excellent service

Tell me about it! After five days a man arrived to fix the ADSL who only spoke Spanish. We had two lines which worked fine except for the ADSL. At 7.00 pm when he finally gave up we had no working...

Re: Can anyone tell me why .......

If a waiter speaks to me in English I am only too happy to continue, but the menu always seems more appetizing in Spanish and all too often the English on the menu is abysmal. I do not know why...

Re: How do I insure a lhd on Spanish plates to Spain.

Any insurance broker or company in the UK is OK. Just insure normally at your UK address and say you are going to Spain before you leave. They will usually include 60days cover for free. ...

Re: How do I insure a lhd on Spanish plates to Spain.

Cool Re: How do I insure a lhd on Spanish plates to Spain.

I am sorry, and don't want this to turn into an argument, but, I have done it twice and it worked out very well. There is no tax owed because the car is originally UK registered. You can...

Smile Re: How do I insure a lhd on Spanish plates to Spain.

Hi Snikpoh,
As I understood it the salient point was insurance. If a car is registered in the UK it is possible to insure it for use in the UK and then 60 days at least in Spain. This is plenty of...
