• This set of entries have been one of the clearest explanations of how to do it - clearer than I could have done. Thanks for putting the time in to spell it all out.

  • Yeah, thanks again @beseku. I've got the other posts you made on this saved for reference.

    I really don't think I'm going to be able to do much before Dec 31 so I might just suck it up and see what Breshit leaves us with. It's the flux of rules and shit that I can't be dealing with right now. Then again, if I did go to Spain in Sep to race Badlands maybe I could look at starting something up, like bank acc. etc.

  • My somewhat limited knowledge is this.

    1. As a spouse or civil partner of a EU citizens you can apply for a work permit in Spain which will allow you to live and work there year round. This should be straightforward enough.
    2. If you exceed 183 days a year you’re a tax citizen of Spain
    3. The non resident tax rate is capped at 24% for the first 6 years up to €600k pa which should be less or the same as you pay in the UK.
    4. Colleagues of mine on UK payroll got their gross wages transferred in full and declared that income in Spain as their earnings, hire an English speaking gestor to do all your IRPF and deductions and Bob’s your uncle.
    5. If you get private healthcare through work than you should typically be covered if not get one locally, prices are reasonable (from €30pm approx)
    6. Get a gestor, they’ll make your life a lot easier and help you save some cash typically.
