Re: Thinking of going fully to Wise

I've had an account with La Caixa for over 20 years, also have my buildings insurance with them. They seem to be bending me over for various charges which have increased since Brexit, so I am tempted...

Re: Voting rights in UK after 15 years

I own property in Spain and have pensions and investments in the USA - in neither country can I vote, nor should I.

Re: Can Spain convince Brussels

I was mixing the renta with the imputed income tax.

The IBI, Basuras, standing charges for agua, luz etc might not be huge, but they are paid year-round and often for many months when the property...

Re: Can Spain convince Brussels

Aren't homeowners spending all year round - IBI, basuras, Renta etc as well as when they are actually there? Unlike holiday makwers they are also spending on builders and other costs like agua and...

Re: Can Spain convince Brussels

It’s interesting how some remainers are still so aggrieved at losing a vote that they even object to something good for their countrymen.

Re: Renouncing USA citizenship

It's the situation I am in and I haven't filed a tax return on the small amount of interest I've been getting in the US (circa $2Kpa), just added it to my UK self assessment for the purposes of...

Re: Renouncing USA citizenship

Doesn't answer the filing issue, but worth a glance for those with 401Ks, IRAs, Roth IRAs etc - note the HMRC get themselves in a mix at one point and correct it all on page 3....

Re: Renouncing USA citizenship

Ouch - so I have an old savings account that produces a few bucks, but what we are saying is that as a non-USA citizen living in the UK I would have to file on my 401k when I start to receive it?

Re: Renouncing USA citizenship

A non-US citizen living in the UK would need to file taxes if they had a private pension in the US?

Re: NHS Cancer Care

if they’re so strong and healthy and educated they can pay for their own healthcare, why do they want to dip their fingers into my pocket to pay for them?

Re: NHS Cancer Care

They would choose to prioritise health insurance over other expenditure if that’s what they wanted to do.

Re: Daughter lost green card in England.

Sorry, my post was to Folinsky and was a bit of a thread hijack about my own LPR.

Re: NHS Cancer Care

My comments on the NHS are in the context of the poor service I have received and seen with others - before I moved back to the UK i used to say to others how great the NHS was, but of course I...

Re: NHS Cancer Care

indeed - but I can advocate for a more democratic health system where you pay for your own healthcare and are not forced to pay for others.

Re: NHS Cancer Care
