Are people around Algorfa still having problems getting residency appointments? In other parts of Spain I understand there are no problems or waiting lists.

I think I take my proof of residence to the town hall, and register in the padron + photos and fee, and a form to fill out. In 45 days I can pick up the residency card at the town hall? Or police station?

What about fiscal residency. When does Spain start having the right to take taxes? Is fiscal residency different than staying in Spain 180+ days.

There continue to be considerable problems, and apart from keep trying online you're best making personal visits to national police stations.

You've got the procedure all wrong - who told you that rubbish? Look at:

You are a fiscal resident for any calendar year in which you spent 183 days or more in Spain.

They don't take taxes - it's your responsibility to declare and pay them.

Thank you. Yes I will pay my taxes. Sorry for any confusion in the wording. What I meant was as soon as I am resident, even in the middle of a tax year, that would be the day that I would begin paying tax on my income to Spain instead of UK…

Lets say you take up residence in Spain before the end of June. You will be fiscal resident for that year, and will have to pay tax here on your income for all of that calendar year.

If you take up residence after the end of June then you won't be a fiscal resident for that year.

If you want a bit of light (!) reading, look at my tax guides:

Okay. I was confused by the reciprocal arrangement between the UK and Spain whereby we do not pay tax twice to 2 countries. I’m finding the guide very helpful :-) thank you.
