Roberto - Thanks for your understanding that Premium Bonds are treated as Government securities, I'll email National Savings again today and ask them for their formal confirmation on this point, for me it will mean one less entry in class 1 and none in class 2.
baz 1946 - this seems to becoming a soap opera.
As I've said before why would anyone give the levels of detail stated in this thread to authorities that might just might give you a haircut that we in Canada are used to on our military.
Most people are trying not to make it a soap opera, most people are still seeking to understand in some areas, the example being above where it is not entirely clear where Premium Bonds sit.
In answer to your second point, no one wants to give this information, it is requirement of the law that has been passed and the initital penalties for which are, ' A fine of €5,000 per each piece of unreported data, with a minimum of €10,000 '.
Spain probably doesn't know exactly who is in the country, but this law applies to all people who are tax resident in Spain and therefore they know that they are... and these - for now - are the only people affected.
People must make their own choice on what they will do, for me any serious input is and always will be welcome.
