Hi,

I'd like to watch this one . . .

I've always been told that there are no 'voluntary contributions' to Spanish national insurance scheme as there is in the UK. But I'd like to be told...

Re: Anyone going back empty load to UK/Eire?

Point taken, but a Russian outfit based on a 1930's design is hardly a Paris-Dakar truck - not really capable of concealing 1Kg of coke let alone 1.4 tons...

I have a motorbike and sidecar for sale. It's in the Pyrenees close to the N-230 Lleida (aka Lérida) to France trunk road (via the Vielha Tunnel)

Re: New CGT rules for non-residents, how calculated?

So, are you saying that all we would have to do is 'move' back into the UK house, pay Council Tax, utility bills, etc. before we sell the house we are in the clears of Spanish CGT...

Re: New CGT rules for non-residents, how calculated?

Thanks Neptuno, actually we're lucky on one score as we live in Catalonia and have done since 1999 so no issue with IHT on our assets here.

Re: New CGT rules for non-residents, how calculated?

Not enough evidently. But how can anyone pay IHT on their only asset without selling the same asset? This defies all logic!

I'm not at all sure Billy. I hadn't noticed the clause about buying another residence until you pointed this out.

Re: New CGT rules for non-residents, how calculated?

That sounds like the typical 'Catch 22' situation. But isn't there a convention that one pays either one tax or the other, whichever is less to the tax payer?

Hello Lee,

I think it's been cleared up but to clarify my situation:

Re: Spanish Tax Treatment of UK Rental Income

Thanks Fred, your posts are the most clear and concise I've ever come across!



Is that 24% tax or 24% taxable, like the overseas property? Are you saying this goes up after 65?



Thanks,...

Re: Spanish Tax Treatment of UK Rental Income

So you pay IRPF on 40% (OK, 50% as of next year), at rates subject you your income in the normal way?

While I'm about it, date I mention income from QROPS?...
