I have recently moved to Seville, and am looking for some friends - a bit sad but there u go.

 

The purpose of this is to get the hang of this forum / blogging thing. - so pls respond ?!

 

And also to help my boyfriend with his new business. - He will help you recover your overpaid property tax if you paid 35 % capital gains tax to the Spanish Authorities when you sold your property in 2005/2006.

 

In short, this was illegal and you are fully entitled to recover your 20 % overpayment

 

You should have paid only 15 %  - in line with european legislation.

 

Various companies will "help" you to recover your money.

 

Genuinely, please dont use a company that charges any upfront fees, and try to avoid paying over 30 % if successful.

 

His company will put you in touch with a top 10 law firm (offices all over Spain) and not charge you any upfront fee.

 

His website can be found by searching for - reclaim spanish property tax co uk

  

Please have a look, its a decent website and is unbiased in its advice.

 

Thanks and heres hoping I get some response, and at least I know this "upload" worked.
