Your liability in Spain is then assessed and they deduct tax already paid in UK from what you would owe and you pay the balance in Spain. If you would have paid less in Spain, unfortunately they do not give you a refund. However if your UK income is anything other than a Civil Service or Forces pension then you can apply to the Inland Revenue in UK to have it paid gross and then it all falls into the Spanish system. We take the view that we don't use any services in UK and therefore we prefer Spain to have all the tax due, but it has taken us the best part of two years to get all the forms processed - they seem to delight at holding it all up at the Centre for Non Residents in UK. _______________________ www.lastortugas.net Spam post?
