I have been in Spain for 30 years and always been legal and paid my taxes, social security etc.

In Spain it doesn´t matter if you are paying taxes in the UK, you must be autonomo, pay S.S. and declare your taxes, VAT, 3 monthly and yearly.

The best you can do is denounce these cowboys to the tax office, before you could do it annonymously but I don´t know now, also denounce them to the UK offices aswell.

We legal people shouldn´t loose our business because we pay taxes and high Spanish S.S. payments, don´t feel sorry for these people, make them realise that if you move to another country you must abide by the laws.

Good luck!!
