Thought of posting this in the property section but was all about Spanish property so here goes.

If you own a UK property (which you used to live in) and then sell it (with gain) while living in Spain how is the CGT treated?

Would the event be taxable in Spain (not UK)?

Regarding bank accounts I imagine some expats will choose to relocate their money to jurisidictions that don't have a TIEA with Spain. Off hand I don't know which countries these are but I should think now people will want to know!!

Thanks for all your replies to this thread, very informative.

I'm curious to learn whether you feel more conscious of break-ins here in Spain or back in the UK.

In the 30+ years I've lived in the UK I've never experienced a break in, so it's new territory for me.

I am new to Spain, so keen to hear your thoughts.

What's the deal with the shutters on Spanish windows? Do you use them while sleeping at night / when you go out etc?

I'm wondering whether it's advisable to use them all the time (for security) but as it's a bit of hassle constantly opening and closing I'm also wondering if it's worth it.

Not quite sure which way that answer falls.

So a 200k house with 190k mortgage means you have to declare?
