> you'll be liable to be taxed here as a resident on your worldwide income.

Unless you change your name to Starbucks, Facebook, Google or something similar ... :>)

What's the likelihood of the tax agreement to change between UK and Spain. Currently you don't pay the same tax twice. 

Because my income comes from UK rental I only have to pay in UK. After we leave the EU I wonder if that will still be the case?!

You will pay once in the country where you choose to pay your taxes - or are required to pay your taxes. Many have mentioned that you are fiscally resident in Spain after 6 months (roughly).

I'm guesting from the tone that you think there is something wrong with this?

The biggest issue countries have with migration is the cost of supporting people who cannot support themselves.

Most places with a sensible migration policy stipulate that you are welcome as long as you are not a drain on the host nation.

Quite rightly in my opinion. 

Migrants tend to be young and although without significant assets are a net benefit to the economy.  The risk for older people who find themselves judged by the pay your way yardstick is that they are no longer welcome. But those who have accumulated assets are.

What's wrong with that - for any age? Do you know of any country that welcomes people who cannot pay their way? You either need income or assets. If you cannot pay your way do you expect me or someone else to pay for you?

You ask who welcomes people who can’t pay their way? Any with an asylum policy. Any country with a decent social security system  

Btw I don’t need anyone to pay for me. We are lucky enough to be in high paying jobs, to own both of our homes outright and to both have the prospect of pensions over the average wage. We are happy to contribute our taxes towards supporting others. We ’d rather do that than be part of a society that is determined to treat migrants or people who are down on their luck as a burden.

No that isn’t my intention. On reflection I was reacting badly to what seemed to be a jibe about personal interest in being subsidised by others. Sorry for any offence.
