help required with 3 main questions. thank you.

Hi to everyone :)

My wife and I are moving to Spain this year 2018. I am 57 and in part retirement so will be doing a small amount of consultancy marketing work with UK companies to cover the house running costs so only generating 500 – 600 euros per month.

3 main questions:

Question 1

I plan to pay into the Spanish NHS via a Convenio Especial but my wife is a Spanish National so do I still have to cover myself privately to have 1 years residency?

Question 2

If I register as self-employed but only earn up to 600 euros per month do I still have to pay 250 euros per month into the Spanish social security system?

Question 3

Can anyone recommend an accountant for sole trader tax returns.

Thank you J

Question 1

I plan to pay into the Spanish NHS via a Convenio Especial but my wife is a Spanish National so do I still have to cover myself privately to have 1 years residency? If your wife is the holder of rights in the Spanish Public Health system, you have same rights as her as beneficiary. You also need to apply for this residency permit: https://blog.costaluzlawyers.es/blog/2016/09/29/residency-permit-non-eu-family-members-european-citizen-residing-spain/

Question 2

If I register as self-employed but only earn up to 600 euros per month do I still have to pay 250 euros per month into the Spanish social security system? You may be eligible for the reduced monthly fare of 50 euros.
