Thank you for taking the time to try & help my situation. All my husband ever had was an NIE number & never a residency as you worked out, he never stayed for 6 months in any year here. Don't even remember how or why I got mine but think I got a letter at my rental accommodation.
Regarding social security & N.I etc, neither of us have ever claimed any benefits & we both have enough paid N.I to entitle is to full state pension in about 5 years, as well as private pensions. At the moment I don't have any income, we live off my husband's wages& savings.
I never thought asking a simple question regarding residency would lead to me discovering all the tax laws here & how wrong I was in assuming that you only had to pay taxes in Spain if you owned or rented out a house & nobody told me any different, but somehow your expected to know these things lol.
I will certainly seek advice on what my situation is & take it from there. Thank you
