Non residents tax - Page 2

I agree, it is possibly to shop wisely with  lots of choice.  Everything also seems so much easier as no language barrier or complicated bureaucracy. I do love Spain, the Spanish lifestyle and the beautiful scenery and sunny weather.

I agree Maggie but after 12 years, I have had enough sun LOL, and looking forward to some cold and rain. We have enjoyed our time here, but enough of a good thing. have a good day.

Yes I know what you mean.  We too are spending more time in the UK.

Gracious! Using a solicitor to calculate the Non-Resident tax sounds expensive. I take the previous year’s calculations to a Gestoría who prints out the current year’s invoice which I take to the bank. No need for an appointment. E20. Job done. We used to calculate our own years ago but it was very complicated so the E20 charge is well worth it. Our calculation hasn’t changed for a few years now. 

Can you tell me were the Gestoria is please and how can I find out about the  E20, this is for my daughter. 

There should be one in every decent sized pueblo. He acts like a Registrar. There are 2 villages near me (Costacabana, Almería) and each has their own. I would suggest going on the internet to search for ‘a Gestoría near me’. Good luck. 

I’d like to add a little more to my information about the Gestoría if I may. The E20 is just his fee. That’s what he asks for, and has done so for a few years now. He prints out a form with the costings, the invoice, gives me a receipt for the E20 and I go to the bank with the invoice to pay it. Make sure the cashier stamps the invoice as proof of payment. However, whereas I take the previous year’s invoice as a basis for doing the calculations for the curryear, from what you are saying, you may be paying too much? In which case, I suggest you start from scratch and take with you the latest rates/valuation calculation that you receive from the Ayuntamiento and let the Gestoría work it out afresh. 

There are several internet companies that undertake calculation and payment for £25

For my Non Residents tax I used a company for many years called http://spanishtaxforms.co.uk

They are based in the UK and charge around £35 for a couple. I am now a Spanish resident so I don't need them anymore but I can certainly recommend them.
