thanks for your quick reply, were als oconsidering moving down to live. and just posted the following up.
Hello everyone, I have a few questions about moving down to Spain, I myself have quite a medical condition, and am on disability living allowance. My daughter and grandson moved down last summer, and we want to be with her.
I work from home in the UK self employed as a writer, I live of my earnings from my books I’ve published, my question would be, because my books are being sold from amazon UK, and I will continue to pay UK tax and national insurance on my UK earnings, and because my wife and my self will not be working in Spain, just living there, and all income will be derived from my UK earnings. Would that mean I would not have to pay the 251 euros Spanish insurance, or tax??
If I closed my UK bank account so that money I earn I earn in the UK went to a Spanish business account to save on fees, would I still be ok and not have to pay Spanish tax or national insurance. Or would I have to open up an offshore UK bank account for my UK earnings. I ask because I don’t know if I can keep my Co Op business account for my book earnings in the UK open if we make the move we so long for.
