Our family is looking to finally move to Alicante this September. We have owned a holiday house in Costa Blanca for over 10 years, and my husband will continue to run a Limited company in the UK whilst based in Spain. He will neeed to travel over and stay in the UK for around a week per month, whilst I remain in Spain as our 10 year ols will start Spanish school in September. I will not be working in Spain as our income will come from the UK based busiess.
I have read that there is a 183 day rule regarding the amount of time spent in Spain and the Spanish tax system. My husband wishes to remain a British tax payer and pay tax under the UK tax system but it seems that this might not be possible if either of us spend more than half a year in Spain. Is this correct or are there ways around this tax situation? I also was told about a 156 day rule but have no idea what this relates to!? We do intend to return the UK regularly during school holidays etc. If anyone can advise me, but I assume that i will need to take up Spanish residencia with NIE for schooling/health services etc, but can my husband remain a non resident (he has an NIE already as a house owner).
Any advice gratefully received!
