Quite interesting,that Camposol was told by the Santader Bank that it now needs a minimum of 600 Euros a month for free Banking. My Wife and i joined Santander less than three months ago,and we were told as long as one of us had a pension paid into the account,no matter how large or small we would not accrue any charges,as at today we have not ,but I will keep my eye on any deductions, so thanks for the warning.

Our Local Councillor in San Fulgencio,wrote on his blog less than a week ago,Regarding the Padron and he stated,that if your Padron is more than TWO years old,Central Government will strike out your details and your Council. Will not get any help from them cash wise for the things they help with at the moment.
I now wonder if this is true or not.

In a short sentence 30,000 free of tax,Would be a dream to me you have a personal allowance in Spain which is approx. half of the U,K, one you get extra allowances for things like mortgage,children and senior members of the family living with you,also if you have certain illnesses,plus a few other things you may be able to get. The lowest rate of tax is then 24.75%,rising Quickly to 30%.On my pensions which total less than 30,000 I pay approx. 1500 Euros more being a resident in Spain than if I lived in the U:K. But I can only get my personal allowance,I am not entitled to any other allowances

Sorry marcbernard,
Yes you are correct,what I was meaning,was meant to read,that a large amount of U.K. Ex-Pats over here are of pensionable age or close to it,so they wouldn't have Parents or Children with them over here,of course some will and they can claim the same as Spanish tax payers,as is tax payers in ill health,and possibly tenants and mortgagees may be able to. .Sorry for the misunderstanding

I don't worry about the averaging out of the pound-euro rate over the year in order to pay tax.what bugs me is that I pay on average 1700 Euros more to the Spanish Government in tax per year than I would of done if I had remained in the U.K.
But the set up for paying tax in Spain is so different to the U.K.Personal allowances are about half in Spain compared to U.K,Spain gives allowances for the things Ex Pat wouldn't be able to claim,i.e Children at home,your Parents at home etc.So I gather the Spanish gain more than Ex_Pats
