As a measure of how successful Hacienda have been at cracking down on tax evasion, last year, in the depths of a recession, their tax income rose by 27%.

Re: Self employed uk resident working in spain
Having suffered from that part of the Spanish law for years, an expensive exercise, I’m sympathetic to any measure to reduce the tax liability.
The Spanish system is like the tote at a race course in the UK. There are 40 counters to take in money, and only one to pay it out.
The OP seems to have been successful at remaining an invisible man for the past ten years, I would advise him to keep the bandages off.
