Spanish CGT on USA shares

I have a friend who is of Spanish nationality (Basque actually) and he is about to acquire a minority stake of our business in the USA. It is obviously a long way off but tax planning can...

Re: Has anyone flown a dog recently to the US

Thanks Pulsaki,

We're actually now being quoted £3250 from Petair using American Airlines and BA was about £1000 more. This is for 2 medium dogs though, not one into LA.

Re: Relocating from UK to USA with 16 and 14

Thanks Glasgow Girl, reassuring words but i also take on board what tht wrote, both make a good point.

Re: Relocating from UK to USA with 16 and 14

All i'm saying Pulsaki is that a move with kids at any age is possibly the most traumatic situation to ever contemplate as a parent in case issues like you mention arise, let alone at the age of my...

Re: Relocating from UK to USA with 16 and 14

Unnecessary post Pulsaki. The OP doesn't need to read such negative comments. We are moving in a month's time with a 14 year old, 2 years later than planned due to covid and no parent needs to read...
