Thankyou for you quick reply,so I shouldn’t worry about it for now?
I thought residency was 183+ days... What's the 90-day rule about? And, do we not become a TAX resident until after actually BEING in Spain for 183 + one day?
Gawd!!! But, thank you for the info :-)

Oh I am finding all this 90 day/183 days business difficult to understand! If I travel back and forth to Spain over the course of the year to my holiday home and it is in excess of 90 days in total do I have to become a resident? Alternatively can I choose to become a resident if I wish to even if I don't have to? Thanks

At the moment, if you stay here 90 days you have to apply for residency. But with Brexit potentially being imminent, you'd be better waiting until the effects of that are known before you do anything.
Thanks Jim..so 90 days in all not 90 days consecutive 😎
Thanks Pete for your detailed reply...I may have to go and lay in a darkened room to think about the way forward 😎
