My first job is trying to light the gas. Always after some months away, it never seems to want to start. I sometimes just give up, go up town for something to eat, and tackle it when I get back. Always a nice feeling when it finally decides to play ball ! We usually get in late anyway, so next day i...

The problem is, as the old adage goes.

There is one born every minute.

There are numerous stories of people being conned out of their pensions with dodgy investments, no matter how often they are told "if it too good to be true" etc.

The NHS is calling them back home ( where they will have "immigrants" looking after them ! )

Then of course there is "legal alien"...

Better call the police.

You would be better off investing in "hotel rooms "...

Just like British Gas putting up their prices recently, others are following suit already...

Won't be long before the rest of the airlines will also be charging for carry on "10kg cases".

Up to now, I am avoiding the latest charge, using BA or easyjet.

Anyone have any idea where we are going ?. BREXIT has not helped of course. Bought a few Euros in town earlier at at just over 1.08, at Debenhams of all places. Hardly makes any difference to shop around at the moment, rates are so poor. One saving grace, I got a £5 voucher to go against my purchase...

Update.... Contacted the company on 1st August by email. Gave them the new valor catastral for 2017. Agreed the rest of the calculation. Forms received in the post from the company on 3rd. August for presentation to my bank when I am out there again. Still £29.95 for the service. Anybody struggling ...

Simply called :

"Spanish Tax Forms Ltd"

Do not believe they even advertise. That is why they can keep their charges to a minimum.

Not sure if I am allowed to mention the company who do the forms for me, as I said £29.95 last year.

I know of three other people who also use them.

For several years now, I have been getting a company to do this for me. As I am not in Spain again until September, have not approached them re "2017" yet. Cost last year was £29.95. Doubt it has gone up much, if at all. That is two forms, as the property is in my wife's and my name. Email...

"The trigger for the calculation is not the values of individual properties but a re-assessment of cadastral values across the whole municipal area. Individual cadastral values may be tweaked up or down from year to year but major reviews which affect the whole municipal area only take place, t...

It is almost that time again...

Just get someone else to do the forms for me, life is too short..

My calculation for "last year" 2016 was:

Cadastral Value *19%*2%.

Would this be good for 2017 again ?

It gets better next week..

I arrive.
