Taxes - 3 replies
I am currently considering my options in regards to buying a house in Spain. Ultimately I would like to retire to Spain and live there permanently but am considering whether it would be a good idea to keep a property in the UK and rent it out. What are the tax implications of doing this both in the UK and Spain?

Please contact us if you have anything.

Where can I find a list of all the tax reductions and benefits for permanent Spanish resident pensioners and handicapped persons in Spain? - 3 replies
Hi All,
Does anybody know where I can find a list for all the tax reductions and benefits for permanent Spanish resident pensioners and handicapped persons in Spain? Is it true that permanent Spanish residents do not pay Spanish property taxes or bank fees? Is there also a tax reduction for vehicles?
Cheers.

Color Gas Boiler and pipes - 5 replies
Hi, my wife and I have a flat in Alicante City and the family visit half a dozen times. I'm looking for advice on changing the gas pipes and checking a new boiler. Apologies for a long winded post, but I thought it would be helpful to provide all the details. The flat had an ancient boiler fuelled by color gas, we replaced it after flames shot out of it! The boiler is housed in the utility room, which is a semi open area, half of the exterior wall is a grill and the roof is either hard plastic or fibreglass. An inspection was carried out by the company who supply the color gas bottles. My wife speaks some Spanish, but her interpretation was that the boiler was not passed because it was for outdoor use and the gas pipes had a leak. The installation was carried out by the owner of the local hardware store who claims the boiler is fit for purpose, but agrees the gas pipes need replacing. His response was based on my wife's interpreting.
Advise on next steps would be helpful. My options seem to be getting the pipes changed and getting a second inspection, maybe by a different company? If the new boiler still needs to be replaced and the man who fitted it, refuses to replace it, what action can I take? We're due to return to Alicante in 2 weeks. Advise is welcome.
