Hi all if we move to Spain post Brexit does anyone know how the Spanish tax authorities would treat income derived from a UK Sipp or draw down plan.  We lived in Portugal a number of years ago and they treated a proportion of this income as return of capital thus reducing the amount of tax paid considerably, do the Spanish have similar arrangements?

Can anyone advise on this.

Thanks

Roger

Every thing you earn in the UK is taxed in Spain even tax free pension lump sums. Get information from a reliable firm not just a local gestor. Good luck.

My wife, age 55, takes a small income from her SIPP of around 9k Euro pa, Blevin Franks suggested that if she keeps it below 14k drawdown a year she won't pay tax as it's her only pension income at the moment. She took a 25% tfls before we became Spanish tax residents.

I cant draw mine down yet as 51, so I'd be interested in what you find out as I'm yet to complete full analysis of my own.

I can only suggest that contact a tax advisor

I was recently hit by a hefty tax bill

I was told in no uncertain terms " if you live in Spain you pay tax in Spain"

Hi

We were recommended a company called Abaco in Torrevieja and they have been very helpful. They are going to be the people we use for taxes as we go forward now as residents of Spain.

https://www.google.com/search?q=abaco+torrevieja+spain&rlz=1C9BKJA_enGB590GB590&oq=abacos+torr&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0i22i30l5.7191j0j7&hl=en-GB&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#

We had a meeting with a few advisors but found them most helpful.  However have not actually used them yet, but I would definitely say they are worth a free consultation to see what they have to say.

Hope this helps 

Sharon

Hi Sharon

I hope it works out for you

My situation is fine now but I wish that I had taken advice when we first came to Spain

Kind regards Rob
