Capital Gains Tax

Althpugh i cannot answer all your questions i think you may even find it hard to get your nie number now and renting for long term will be difficult without it, so you would be paying way over the top for holiday rental. My name is jo, call me on whatsapp711054628 if you ever want me to find out something over here.

If you want to be in Spain >183 days per year, you become liable for income tax in Spain. How/where the money arrives is just mechanics.

To be able to spend >183 days/year in Spain, you must gain Residency (I am assuming you are Irish, not British - so it will work for you like it used to work for we Brits).

If you become tax-Resident in Spain before you sell your (Irish ?) house, you will be liable for CGT in Spain at - I think - 23%.

If you gain Residency in Jan-June of any year, you are tax-Resident in Spain for all of that year.

If you gain Residency in July-Dec of any given year, you become tax-Resident on 1st Jan the following year.

Once you become tax-Resident in Spain you must declare your worldwide assets (the Modelo 720 form). 

So ... best to sell in Ireland before moving to Spain.

That   is   what   i    concluded  from  studying    Tax  rules  from forum  here,  So  need  to  be  a 120%  certain  that  moving  to Spain is  for  me, a  lot  to  think  about  over  next   12  months,  Taxes   and  Health  insurance  and existing  medical issuse  that  may  not  be cover,  pointing  to  a   unviable  move  at  the  moment,  400K  house  value    APPROX  100k  Tax  to  Spainish    government ,   would  those  figures  be  correct

Might have some useful info

I would employ the services of a tax adviser for your situation, can’t advise on any myself but I’m sure somebody on the forum will be able to?

Thanks  replying,  but  unfortunately  can't  open  it,  as  not in  Blue colour,  and  I  am  not   great  on  computer  

The link is helpful. Copy and paste it into a new tab ... it works OK.

It more-or-less confirms what I said. 

As someone else said, you should get good tax advice before committing any money.

But yes, (selling price - buying price) x 23% is a big number.   (I'm assuming 23% is correct here).

Nothing  appeared  arrived,  Thanks for  being  helpful,   Think   I    will   get  i  touch  with  a Tax  solicitors  whenever   I  get  out   to  Spain
