Non Resident Residencia??

[Decho]

As far as I understand you don’t pay Spanish Taxes (except ofcourse the disgusting non-resident tax). You are fiscally still tied to the UK for income tax, corporation tax, IHT and so on.
A couple of things you will need....
1. Private Medical Insurance....although there is some question about whether you need to renew it.
2. A spanish driving license...you have to give up your UK Driving License.
I am not and expert though just going by what I’ve been told...I would make contact with Miguel, he is the best person for advice and is very approachable.
I myself have, and still am, considering it.

Fiscal residencia:

According to Blevins Franks, a Financial Advisor on JanetAnscombe, the emergency legislation to give a time extension of authorisation to foreigners to stay and work DOES NOT include the Fiscal Residencia rule:

"If you are still here you may well be getting ever closer to the 183 day stay limit (in the Calendar year of Jan-Dec) at which point you will legally become a Spanish Fiscal Tax Resident….whether you want it or not!"

So no relief, as yet, if you are getting close to 183 days.

That is actually quite shocking, if you are someone who was unable to leave by choice before the lockdown, whether because of whatever reason. Seems a bit strange 🤔🤔

I've just read through the Janet Anscombe piece.  This last comment though seems a sensible one, and certainly is how I would fight my corner if I had to......

"Regarding tax residency, I would have thought the “tie breaker” in the Double Taxation agreement between UK and Spain would prevail in the circumstances where you have spent 183 days or more in Spain. That is, if technically deemed a tax resident in both countries – priority is given to where you have a permanent home available to you: if you have one in both countries, then where is the “centre of your vital (=economic) interests” and if still not clear, then being a national of one of the countries will be the final decider.

Did not know where to put this query.

After 31st December will a resident still need 6 months on their British passport  when returning here from UK.
 for example 3 week visit to see relatives in England ?

As I understand it, after 1st January 2021, yes, you need to have six months prior to yiur departure still valid on yiur passport in order to be given entry to the country (think it applies to all EU countries).

You can apply early to renew your passport, and any unexpired months are added to your new passport.

Tom sorry to contradict you the unexpired months are not added, I have, whilst back here in Windermere, renewed my passport which was due to expire in Dec and the new expiry is August '30 not Dec '30

[Cotillo_Tom]

My apologies,  I got that completely wrong. Indeed, unused months are not added to your new passport but I'm sure they used to be!

[Grampiangranny]

"From 1 January 2021, you must have at least 6 months left on an adult or child passport to travel to most countries in Europe (not including Ireland).

If you renewed your current passport before the previous one expired, extra months may have been added to its expiry date. Any extra months on your passport over 10 years may not count towards the 6 months needed".
