Good idea Malcolm. Unfortunately i do not have any details on my company apart from it's name and the fact that the UK Taxman keeps on sending letters to myself and my wife saying that we should be providing them with accounts. At least the Inland Revenues interest confirms that myself and my wife do own at least part of this LLP though i do not know how much of it?

Yes my property is registered in the name of the company they set up, a Spanish Patrimonio Famaiiar S.L. which is owned by a UK LLP. I have copes of the company escritura and those of the purchase, though my own name  does not appear anywhere.

All the replies to this thread and proves that there are legitimate ways of saving taxes. Unfortunately the company that i was referring to which is based in Lanzarote is run by a convicted serial fraudster. They charge you 6 to 7 thousand euros for setting up the company, take a further 3000 for the companies capital which is meant to be refunded. The end result is that you get left paying the sales tax, in  my case 11700 euros worth, and never getting the 3000 euros refundable capital back.

The Daily Mail recently published adverts in its Friday papers from a company, based in Lanzarote, who claim that through them you can buy a property without paying the sales tax. This is completely false and is a pure scam that has claimed many victims so if you saw the advert and was tempted or know of anyone else then be warned.

This company has now started to advertise in the Daily Mail and is now targeting UK purchasers on the Spanish mainland. Be warned.
