banks again

I know this topic has being discussed in the past but i have a slightly different angle.
When opening a new non resident account in Spain.
Do we have to declare all of our income from our home Country?
The reason i ask is i was thinking of setting up an account and if i just need to declare where the money going into this account every month it likely be easier.

Many thanks.

Wollie,
I would suggest always only giving basic information about your income and only giving details on a need to know basis..if pressed.

Regards,
Gordon

I don't need to practice being stupid i am naturally gifted in this area.
I read here i think that we need to show our primary income from out home country.
I think also tax details from home country.
I am really hoping to get a bit of clarity.

Thanks.

No. No need to declare any income at all.

Opened non resident account earlier this year and did not have to provide details of income

No, of course you do not have to declare any income..

Just pay the fees !

Thanks for replies i will look into it some more. I was under the impression that i had to supply all my personal income and really too much bother.
I be over in a couple of weeks and look into this.
I remember being told a few years ago that if i had regular payments into account and also a few debits i get free banking. I am hoping this is still the case.

Many thanks.

That may only be for residents accounts. Sabadell do one where you have to have a minimum monthly income of 700€ but I seem to remember having to produce our residencias when we set it up.

Cajamar have gradually been adding conditions to getting free banking. To keep it charge-free we (a) joined as members (b) took out our house insurance through them (c) took out a credit card from them. We still have to ensure we used both our tarjetas for purchases (not cash withdrawls) 48+ times per year to avoid 15€ a quarter charges.

This is related as i read an article at the weekend that banks supply information on account holders to revenue which i kinda already knew.
What i did not know is governments share this information with each other and it is pretty well a world wide trend.
