Re: Car hire - big changes coming

Its a process you actively take part in rather than in the uk where you just hand the car over.you also have to go to a official independent ITV station (like in N.Ireland) unlike the uk where your local garage would either do it or take it to a mates who was licenced ...

Re: Tax Recovery
How does it work receiving rental income or paying repairs etc. if not having a UK bank account. Can Tenants just transfer to Spanish bank? Presumably they can Katy but then there'll be charges involved I imagine. Best to use something like Wise and have the money paid into there. That's one of the...

My partner banks with Barclays which is one of the banks giving customers until November to change banks. My bank (TSB) says they cannot help as my partner has no UK address. We are full...

Re: Tax Recovery
You need to fill in a self assessment every year as your rental income is taxable in the UK.you get your uk allowance and if any tax is due you can offset what you pay in spain so you wont pay double. If the house is jointly owned you need to do one each. Its pretty easy. You just declare your renta...

Re: Tax Recovery

Then you send that with your double tax hmrc form to HMRC and you will get a rebate. It can be abit complicated though as the tax years are differ...

Re: Is it worth swapping UK to Irish residency
Other than giving you freedom of movement which you already have via your irish passport imo i dont think there's much advantage to changing over if you are covered under the withdrawl treaty which you are .
