State pension - Page 2

You will be taxed if the state pension, when added to your current income, takes you over the current tax free allowance (Spain or UK).

I would be careful if you are due a private pension with a "tax free" lump sum at 55. This lump sum is not tax free in Spain and could be quite a considerable amount. 

HerefordJack is correct. To summarise..

• the UK State Pension is not taxed at source 

• you cannot be tax resident in both the UK and Spain. Once resident in Spain you should file a tax return. They will send you a certificate to state that you are a Spanish taxpayer and you should send this with the HMRC Double Taxation Form to the HMRC in the UK in order to exit the UK system. 

• if your income declared in your Spanish tax return is above your personal allowance you will be taxed on the income above that personal allowance.

So what is the ceiling before tax is deducted, on worldwide income, or state 

The personal allowance for a single person over 65 was €14265 last time I checked. Not sure for under 65 but presumably a little less.

You only pay tax on income above your allowance. 

The UK State Pension  paid into a Spanish Bank Account does certainly not have tax deducted at source if you are paying your taxes correctly, i.e. having a tax declaration processed each year in Spain, it is taxed as part of your world-wide income.

Incorrect as kim says its part of your income for tax 

Yes, yes, Thanks to "everyone " who has corrected my post. I do and always have included my UK state pension in my tax declaration in Spain.  Thank you.

If it's just your state pension you will never have to pay tax on that it's one of the lowest 

Pensions in Eu

UK state pension is not taxed at source even in the UK and not exempt from tax in Spain if resident in Spain.

No it isn’t!!!!! Some specified occupational pensions are taxed in UK others have to be declared and taxed in Spain. UK state pension is NEVER taxed at source anywhere.
