 Reading the various responses, and recognising my own contribution, it seems many of us are off track here.

Which makes me think that red tape is the least of many people's problems. Corruption, non-accountability and personal taxes ARE an issue and maybe it is THOSE that should be being addressed to the Spanish government?

 I have a suggestion that will help everybody, including the government.

Do something with the tax system! The current structure makes it almost impossible for companies to pay a decent salary on a full time contract. The result is the burgeoning black market where the tax man receives nada! It is so plainly obvious that a fairer tax system will achieve at least four things:

  • Bye bye black market (or it will be substantially reduced anyway).
  • Tax revenue will increase overnight
  • Employees will then be paying their rightful dues to the benefits system for health and pensions
  • Reducing employers' contributions will allow them to invest in their businesses = growth

And while they are sorting that out, do something with the ridiculous autonomo payments contributions! Up to é300 per month? Regardless of income?? What planet were they on when that was dreamed up? If anything encourages cash-in-hand work more than that, I'd like to hear it! 

Why not adopt something similar to the UK system for the self-employed?

  • They keep records.
  • They submit tax returns.
  • They pay tax on profits anually.
  • They are less compelled to "dodge the system"
  • In a poor month, they are not forking out é300 for gains they have not made!
  • So, so simple!

Again, this will encourage more individuals to join the system legitamately, the taxman will know who you are, what you do and will receive a FAIR tax payment from you annually.

The Spanish tax system is similar in many respects to that in Greece - and look what is happening there!

Is it really beyond the wit of Man to do something about this chaotic system that heammorages much needed revenue from goverment coffers?

I am about to move to Almeria.....but am hesitating, due to this minefield of income tax and employment status!

I wonder what others think?

Happy new year to all anyway!

Oh contrair! These units can be fitted upstream. The signal passes up and downstream, so you can fit it to the inlet of your water heater and still get the benefits in the kitchen, which I presume is downstream of the heater.

It's why a conventional softener is so hard (expensive) to fit here! Tracing mains leccy and water is a nightmare - even with building plans at hand.
