Been trying on this website but can’t get past entering the last five digits of my bank account. It keeps looping on me. Not your problem I know but don’t know if it’s temporary one on the website.

Like all Spanish government websites it can be flaky - they are not good at renewing digital certificates so can get snarled up by browser filters. Try a different browser, or just at a different time. It being in the tax declaration period the site may be busy. I just tried and got straight in, using Chrome.

Thanks Peter for taking the time to reply.
Hi
Have you checked out Jim's tips? He may have this item covered. I recall seeing some information that stated that Britain has an arrangement with the Spanish Government that means if you pay tax on your Pension in the UK then you don't pay tax again on this income.

yes thats true but state pension is only taxed in Spain....you can reclaim any tax paid in error in the UK as soon as Spanish tax has been paid.

Sorry. Where do I find Jim’s tips please? Just googled it and got a site but don’t think it was what you’re referring to.

Hi all
What kind of percentage would you pay on your private and state pensions. We have a apartment on Condado up the road and we have been planning to come over to Spain for 9 months of the year. Any ideas what the pit falls are.

No way to estimate your % without detailed numbers.
In general, if you receive state pension PLUS a private/company pension, you will pay more tax in Spain than in the UK.
If you apply for/are granted Residency in Spain, you can stay for more than 90 days at a time (this is the rule now, but it is widely ignored - after Brexit Transition-end, you will only be able to be in the EU for 90 days in any rolling 180 day period).
If you are in Spain for >6 months in any year, you become tax-resident (although there are some wrinkles regarding timing/reconciliation of taxes between UK and Spain).
If you are tax resident, you need to declare your world-wide wealth (property, company shares, private pension pots, savings accounts) etc. If are lucky enough to be wealthy, a tax is levied on your wealth. I think the threshold for "wealthy" is around 700k Euros, but I'm not wealthy enough to find out.
