I have sent one letter to the department de convenios in Murcia  who deal with double taxation

even made contact with a charity    (tax help for older people)   

BUT I can not find any help  any advice is welcome

Hi you need a fiscal tax certificate. Its best to use an accountant or gestor. They will probably ask for 2 years of water and electric bills ( they told us tax office will only accept photocopies ) nie passport padron and bank iban. They will then help you complete the form to submit to the tax office. Once you have the certificate send to tax office in uk and they should stop taxes in uk and refund you what you have been deducted in uk.

Hope this helps 

Good luck. Nothing is easy here is it 

EDIT we were also asked for copies of our completed spanish tax returns we submitted and paid.

Further to SunnySpain's response, you should also complete and submit a form P85 to notify HMRC that you no longer live in the UK.

You can also phone HMRC and they can talk you through what is required. A while ago, I spent a long time on hold, but eventually spoke to a very helpful chap...

Hi Dave,

We’re in the same boat as you. We sent everything back to the UK by registered post in May and still nit heard anything so we’re still paying double tax. When we long on to Gov. uk website through our Gateway we can see they’ve “received” the documents because it says that on our message board but that’s it, it doesn’t say “pending” or anything else. We were going to ring them again in the New year if we’ve still not heard anything back.
