My daughter works for an English company and her tax and NI is taken from her income in England. She has seen a lawyer who has told her she needs to stop paying tax in the U.K. and pay in Spain instead. Will she still pay NI in England? I’m worried regarding her pension, any advice would be gratefully appre

You can't just 'stop paying tax and NI'.
Is she properly resident in Spain and if so when did she become so?
I'm afraid there could be a lot more to worry about here than just her pension!

Hi - Not a clear solution. She will pay tax in the country she receives income into e.g. Spain.
Re NI - and if a English company and they also pay into a pensions scheme, that may continue. It may depend on where and whom the contract of employment is between. If between an English resident and English company, that is clear. If she wishes to work in Spain then the company may not be too open to that as tax, rights and a lot of other things are different. If she has a contract with the (say) Spanish part of the company then it is plain sailing.
If she is working from 'a home' across a VPN then it would be very difficult for any party to say where you are, Tax then becomes UK based,
Just my experience, not an expert. Seek other help.
