Re: Can you Help
Any income earned in Spain has to be declared for tax! If you are self-employed then, in theory, you MUST already be declared as an autonomo. As such, you must pay tax AND the contribution of about 260 euros/month for the equivalent of NI.
Of course, if you don't do any of the above, then are are working illegally <start rant> and deserve all you get <end rant>.

And yep I could rant all day about the thousands of illegal expats who never pay owt or register for owt, but times are a changing , due to the tax offices massive loss of revenue down to unemployment they are getting stricter and tougher on non payers, Ive know that they are now catching out those advertising in expat magazines by simply visiting or calling the advertised number !!! BIG BIG fines and rightly so,
