Today I completed ours tax return using the new link provided by Decho. The only thing I couldn't do was use last years info to populate this new form, which I had to enter manually. When I tried to validate the form a help window opened (in Spanish) showing some of the data entered wasn't recognised, or was incorrect. I changed a few fields, then everything worked, saved and printed. Like the previous online form, I could use my saved information to populate my wife's form, then all I needed to do was change names, birth dates and nie numbers.

Thanks. Pretty much my experience too. Saved the new form data for next year, unless they change it AGAIN!
I still don't understand why the banks cannot scan the barcode like they used to. Everything was entered manually today, as was last year, very slowly and with the inherrent danger of a typo. Still, we have the receipt.

The old form & the new form are different formats so the information will not be able to be saved from 1 format to another.
Rather than using your information and changing dates & names, it would be better after you have exported your form with your data to complete a separate form then save that under your wife`s name. Then next year you will just have to change the dates rather than names etc. Next year as you will be paying as an EU non-resident then the tax rates will be the same the following year if you are a non-EU citizen the rate will be 24% if UK is out of the EU & nothing has been agreed regarding the issue of UK citizens.

Thanks for this. Can you tell me what to put in the tipo renta box to pay the non residents tax? There seems to be no mention of it in the list
Thanks

Hi Andrew that is what I actually did. Thanks to your advice when we first did them a few years ago. Thanks again for your help.
