This is from a law firm in Spain 

"For most countries, tax residents are those who spend more than half the year (183 days) in the country. As a result, the country may tax its tax residents on their worldwide income including salary and pensions as well as income from property assets and capital gains. 

According to the S...

...panish authorities, you may be considered tax resident in Spain if you fulfill any of the following conditions:

If you spend more than 183 in Spain in the same calendar year (i.e. January to December).If the main hub of your business activities is in Spain (directly or indirectly).If your dependents (spouse and children under18) live in Spain.

Now that is what I have been told, and you have to declare your stay for more than 180 days, and register to pay tax, along with completing the 720 declaration, or get very large fines.

Nice one, so I assume as you state, no limit to how long you can stay on a EU passport.

But others say, 180 days, then have to leave, and come back, some say just go over to Gib and visit for a day, and that solves it ??? beats me.

I spent the entire COVID years here in Spain, in fact it ended up being just short of 3 years before we could travel because of various medical appointments. Some years ago we couldn't travel for nearly 2 years because my wife had two replacement hips and just after the full recovery period for the 2nd one fell and. Broke her Femur which meant  few more months of being restricted.  I would sound one word of warning though, we only have the star old age pension so are not liable for tax and , in consequence I'd be ignorant on those regulations

My information to you is very basic because of my non liability for tax. Although Irish I am. Tax resident of Spain but my income is too low for tax and also my permanent home is in Spain so I may have inadvertently led you astray but the information regarding never having my passport stamped is stil valid.  There seems to be some very good legal infor on this thread now which might help you more

You can email the registrars office in Belfast or Dublin and pay online and they send to you. Make sure you have her mothers maiden name as that was one of my stumbling blocks

Ok cheers 🥂

Sadly ignorance is not accepted by the tax man, or by the courts, or we would all benefit.

They do catch up, and they check against IBI payments as to who are trying to stay below the law.
