How is your tax taken off - monthly or annually?

Now I've taken tax into consideration it looks slightly better, as less income means less tax. So it means I'll be 200 euros worse off - not 300.

Claim for your winter heating allowance ( over 60) and bring it with you and you will break even and a bit for a couple of Sunday lunches. ;-)

We are taxed here in spain annually, and pay very little as we are not earning that much.

That's what I wanted to know, as say if you were taxed monthly according to your income at a favourable exchange rate which then collapsed you would be paying too much tax.

We have noticed a difference not just with the exchange rate but with everything else seeming to rise but hey suppose it is no difference if living in the UK. Just got to cut down on the beers!
