Hi,

Take a look at Jim's guides - follow this link to the guides, then scroll down to the heading 'Residents income tax in Spain':

Without giving details of your age and total income it's a question that's impossible to answer.

As Kim says, look at my guides and you can work it out yourself.

I was told Military Pensions are tax free in Spain.? 

Hi Andy,

Military pensions are one of a number known as "Crown pensions" and, as such, they have to be taxed at source in the UK.  However, if you are resident in Spain, you have to declare them on the Modelo 720 Declaration of (worldwide) Assets and when you submit your annual Modelo 100 tax return, the income tax you pay on the military pension in the UK is offset against your tax liability in Spain.  This is in accordance with the Dual Taxation Agreement between the UK and Spain, which prevents you from being taxed on the same income in both countries.

Kind regards,

Kim

Kimmy11: Are you sure that you are referring to "Government Pension" in relation to a military one?

My understanding is that the measure of reporting a UKGP to the Spanish tax office is to place such pensions in the "Exempt except for calculating the marginal rate" box 525, and no account is taken of the UK tax aspect.

Hi Marcbernard,

Andycolleen asked about "Military" pensions and I explained that they are amongst a group of pensions designated "Crown" pensions.  Neither of us mentioned "Government" pensions.

Kind regards,

Kim

OK. so is it a Crown Pension or not? Civil Service and Military pensions are, I believe, in the same "Crown" category.

Yes, a Military pension is a "Crown" pension, I said that in my original reply to Andycolleen.
