Proof of U K pension
Hi, I know that there is a topic on this open somewhere on these fora but for the life of me I can't find it, anyway, after a very acrimonious divorce I am now considering becoming a legal resident of the Canary Islands.
Regardless of any assets I have in the U K it seems I may have to "prove" that I'm in receipt of a state pension (as pitiful as it is) how does one do this, to whom do I address the question and is it a difficult process, thanks AL.
PS I have not yet done anything about this process, I was hoping someone surely would have experience of this process here

Re: Proof of U K pension
You don't get a P60 for the state pension as it is always paid free of tax. You do get a letter from the Pension Service every year stating what pension you will receive for the next year.

I know this is for a bank but just a warning that AEAT in Málaga is insisting that any tax certificates presented from HMRC, DWP etc. must be translated by a bilingual notary public and endorsed with the Apostille of the Hague Convention by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

Re: Proof of U K pension
I went to Agencia Tributaria (see thread “spam?) with P60s and copies of my OH’s 2015 tax return, and filled in a form (in Spanish) declaring that her Crown pension was for government service with HMRC, thus exempt.
This was all copied at their Registry and submitted to them. I am now awaiting their decision as to whether to accept this, or demand something more official. The CIvil Service Pension people knew nothing about how Spanish revenue use the information that they had handed to them, and I am waiting to hear back from them if they can supply any form of certification, in English and Spanish.

Re: Proof of U K pension
Good luck with it all. In my case the problem eventually was resolved but DWP do not actually send out a 'letter of retirement' as the Spanish know it and the Spanish are quite inflexible in matters of paperwork, in my experience.

When we did my dads, they asked for a photocopy of the last couple pages of his bank book showing it going in, and the letter saying "you will recieve X amount per month from the UK" that CID mentioned above.
