Hi everyone 

I’m not sure weather anyone will know anything about this topic with the way things are up in the air at the moment But here goes 

We are going to move from France to Spain but need to sell our house first .Which Probably might not Happen before the brexit deadline.We are registered as            residence And taxpayers in France and been here 16 years Also both retired pensioners My question is Will we be treated as moving from a non EU country (England) or from an EU country France as far as income goes  I’ve tried looking this up myself and have met with lots of different answers .Ive also tried wadeing through Jim’s files and given myself a headache  

Thanks in advance

As permanent residents of an EU state there exists a path to transfer your residence to another state but it's crucial that an appication to do must be made BEFORE moving, from France in other words. 

The process is nothing at all to do with Brexit and is intended for non EU nationals which of course after Dec 31st. we all become so it might be that it will extend to encompass people in your position. 

I may have a link somewhere.

We too moved here after 11 years in France.

Hi Ken,

This extract from the UK government's website confirms that you are able to make the move you propose:

"Moving to another EU country

"You can still move to another EU country, on the same terms as before 31 January 2020, until the transition period ends on 31 December 2020. You will have until at least 30 June 2021 to apply for a residence status in that country, if you need to."

Kind regards, 

Kim

That's not what I'm talking about.

See here; http://extranjeros.inclusion.gob.es/es/InformacionInteres/InformacionProcedimientos/Ciudadanosnocomunitarios/hoja047/index.html

Although this is the Spanish site the principal is EU wide and there are links to the relevant directives.
