Hello,

I’m looking to buy a property soon and will send the funds via a currency transfer company (I have a couple in mind), however, I’m going to be funding my life in Spain with at first savings then a combination of savings and pension. My question is, if I keep my savings in the UK is it normal to send myself a lump sum each month to my Spanish bank account. I’ve already paid tax in the UK on all my savings etc and want to avoid (not in a tax avoidance way) having to pay any more tax on my already taxed money. Obviously I will pay tax on any interest so will I need an accountant or just use my lawyer in Spain. I hope this makes sense.

Thanks T

Thank you Kim, I shall rely on this reply and as much as I love Jim’s guides I think with tax I’ll let an expert do it for me.

Thanks again, this forum has been a godsend for me. I’m out there viewing properties from Sunday so exciting times ahead!

Thanks pete, I meant I’ll be earning interest on my savings in the uk, I’m not expecting to earn any interest on my current account in Spain. I will be sending myself about €2000 a month to live on so hopefully that will eradicate any bank charges?
