I shouldn't think many who are permanently resident in Spain are paying to support this fraud through UK taxes.

Yes Sage, you are right in that we no longer pay UK taxes but many of us have done so over the last 30-40 years. Also many of us have children, grandchildren and siblings in the UK who pay taxes. I appreciate there are much worse things going on but surely that doesn’t negate this kind of fraud or deception.

We all know that’s rubbish. We brought our sky box to Spain and to our caravan for years and nobody ever said a word ( it costs us plenty so why shouldn’t we?)::As for the winter fuel and people checking, rubbish. There aren’t enough staff to do the jobs they are paid for without adding an extra burden of searching for dual home owners. Scaremongering! Some people are scared and conform with the rules…actually I should say Most people but not everyone. Each to their own.

Each to their own???? Really?? What a moronic viewpoint of those who commit illegal and immoral acts! Wonder if you would be so relaxed and forgiving about people’s choices if they chose to break into your house or snatch your handbag instead of taking government money they know they’re not entitled to? It’s each to their own after all.

Yep, I agree. Claw it back. Most of us are still trying to recover from the hit we took when Brexit took thousands out of our pockets (fact).
