Re: Simple income tax calculation question.
I suggest that you read the commentaries to the Model tax treaties, specifically the commentaries on pensions - some interesting observations - this, by the way, is supposed to be the jurisprudence in disputes in cross country tax issues in applying the terms of double tax treaties - and the treaties and commentaries change over time as well. May or may not be relevant

Re: Simple income tax calculation question.
OK Tony, whilst I still can,t see your point, I would be interested to know, from the perspective of pensions and government pensions, where your doubts lie. Can you be more specific on this matter, rather than purely referring to other sources without explanation? For example, what are the commentaries you are referring to, and how might they apply here. I am not getting at you, and I am always happy (well, maybe not happy, but at least prepared!) to be proven wrong

Re: Simple income tax calculation question.
Tony - you made an important statement which entirely undermines what I and indeed others consider to be correct, but you seem to be unable to support that statement with specific information. Yes, you have given a link, but please also point where, in that link, lie any bases for your statement.

I can stick the commentaries here - but all it is are interpretative - my interpretations as valid as others. In any event, under similar circumstances and laws etc - different courts (never mind courts in different countries) come to different conclusions - trace most court cases that go from appeal to appeal

Re: Simple income tax calculation question.
Well, Tony, I really can´t say whether your interpretations are worth anything, since you have regrettably failed to provide a single one. I personally find it very interesting that you are either unwilling or unable to substantiate your statement at all. In such a situation one may be tempted to assign one or more of the following reasons for the lack of information:
Perhaps the person providing the statement does not know what he or she is talking about or the statement cannot be substantiated, or they wish to generate fear and uncertainty and hence drum up more business, or they know that what they have said is rubbish.
Of course, if a full explanation and justification does emerge, we will know that these statements can not apply.

Re: Simple income tax calculation question.
With NHR it will be untaxed if under the existing regime, or at the new rate (10%?) under the proposed changes. Now, at the end of your NHR, it will be taxable, so there will be a substantial income reduction, perhaps offset if another income source, such as a state pension, kicks in.
The question arises as to whether it might be worth putting some aside during the NHR phase to feed in later so that your income can remain reasonably steady across the transition. Definitely a good idea to work out what your non-NHR income will be, using today's figures.

Sorry to have inspired a big debate between you guys about the need or not for a ruling of some kind. I'm confident that since the documentation from HMRC in Eric's link states it clearly and a phonecall to one of their technical specialists confirms that the PT do not regard UK university pensions under the University Superanuation Scheme as 'government' , I concur with those who argued that no ruling was necessary. My PT accountant had previously told me that he was sure he knew retired UK university lecturers with NHR status who were not being taxed on those pension but I did not want to believe it without some official confirmation. I asked HMRC because I didn't think it would be easy to get an answer from AT.

Re: Simple income tax calculation question.
Hi,
Looking for advice when filling out my Modelo 3 IRS form this year, for 2019 income.
Normally, as I only receive income in the UK from interest on savings, I complete annexo J (income received from abroad) but this year I will also need to declare a private pension that was paid monthly in 2019.
If I understand it , from earlier in this thread, this pension would attract the allowance of 4104€. Is this correct and would I just need to add the annexo H to the Modelo 3 and enter the annual amount in Euros? Does the allowance automatically get deducted before they apply the tax rate ?
Sorry for so many questions, but want to get it right and to make sure my allowance is applied.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Simple income tax calculation question.
Assuming you've been quoting your NIF for purchases / expenditures, you'll get whatever qualifies in deductions from those automatically taken off your bill too.

Re: Simple income tax calculation question.
Thanks very much Red Eric,
I think I was mixing up annexo H with categoria H. I think it's right that I enter the amount in annexo J under categoria H and the allowance will be deducted automatically?
Annexo H is completed If I want to receive benefits etc?.
I always enter my NIF number under the eFactura, so if I'm due reductions there the system will calculate automatically too?
Thanks for your help.

Re: Simple income tax calculation question.
You're very welcome - glad to be of assistance
That's right on the annexes / categories, yes.
And yes, if you do end up owing anything after the initial allowance has been deducted and tax calculated on the rest according to the scales etc posted earlier on this thread, the deductions you can see on your e-fatura page, which keeps a running tally for you, will automatically come off that.
You know you might have a little bit of work to do on the e-faturas if you want to be absolutely sure that you're being credited with everything, don't you? Not much - just a couple of things to look out for on pending items and some health expenditures.

Yes, the jurisprudence on tax treaties is very important! As a former tax lawyer, this was more important than the tax treaty itself! I spend half my life reading tax treaties. Every day new jurisprudence was on my desk .......
But now, as a "normal" person it is very difficult to find the comments and jurisprudence. Now I am only able to find the most important jurisprudence. The comments of both governments before a new tax treaty are also very important.
Until 1990 most tax treaties were based on the OECD model. As of 1990 they are still based on the OECD model but have here and there "small" differences ...
