Another query
Our personal pensions and rental from uk house are taxed in uk .....if we take Spanish residency do these become taxable in Spain
A friend who is in a similar position to us has got Spanish residency but still pays tax in uk ......all very confusing.....well at least to me
Only government pensions (like forces, police, civil service etc) should be taxed in UK. You should write to the HMRC with a P85 form (there's one on the HMRC site). That way your state pension, when you get it, private pensions and interest will not be taxed in UK. You then complete a tax return in Spain.
UK rental tax will be taxed in UK. You then declare that on your annual income tax return in Spain and any tax you have paid in UK will be offset against your tax in Spain.
