Can some of you techie folk help?

Post by BaggyTrousers »

The Spanish taxman is chasing me out of Spain for the end of the year or threatening me with a bill for €35000 should I stay, so I am going to Bangor for approx 2 months.

The Internet is my issue, would any of you modern chaps have any idea how a man could get decent internet on wifi for 2 months? Needs to be decent as I need to run my magic box off it.

I understand it is likely to be expensive but what is a man to do?

All help gratefully received.

Correct Paul, but FFFS what a dickhead that Small Mind is.

LOOK, sonny........ There is no tax due on the sale of your primary residence in the UK, however, if you become tax resident in Spain in the year that you sell a house elsewhere, primary residence or not, they stiff you for Capital Gains tax and since I bought that house last century the amount is not insignificant.

By spending less than 183 days in Spain this year, I will have no such liability. All very simple, legal and above board, no taxation due in either country so you should be relieved that your concerns about me breaking any tax laws are happily unfounded, though you do sound like the sort of venomous little creep who would take joy in reporting a chap to the Inland Revenue. Tell you what PM me and I'll give you my tax details and you can suggest they investigate.

Thanks for your concern, you >#

Do they have TVs to connect the magic box to?

Tell you what Ger, somebody else whom you and I, both know has helped, rather ingenious, he's the sort of man who knows almost everything. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Trousers, you're temporarily exiling yourself from Spain in order to avoid Spanish tax.
Just because it's to Bangor rather than Monaco, it's qualitatively no different to what
so many scumbags have done before. If I didn't already know that your rhetoric on political and
social issues was just a load of hot air, I'd be shocked. :lol:

Whilst I understand that you are merely seeking to tweak my tail, you could at least attempt to do so with a modicum of intelligence. Only a cretin would fail to understand that there are reciprocal tax treaties between the UK & many countries, Spain included. As such it is up to the individual to decide where to pay their taxes other than the fact that 183 days or more in a country - either one - makes you technically tax resident there. I still pay my taxes in the UK, had I chosen to have my pension untaxed in the UK at source and taxed in Spain then I would have had no choice in the matter.

I suppose you are trying to imply that you would simply bite the bullet and pay the tax in Spain? Idiot.

It's a dodge, perfectly legal, but then so is ash to cash.
You're a tax exile, trousers.

It is termed tax avoidance, which is legal as opposed to tax evasion which is illegal.
Anyone who does not make use of tax avoidance is an idiot, anyone who trys tax evasion is a criminal.

You don't have to ve a big fish or knighted to avoid tax, anyone can do it just scale is smaller, very few make use of things like allowances for work clothes and small things like that which all add up at the end of the year. Putting savings in an ISA is another.
It probably is right though that smaller ones get caught more often on evasion as they don't have the knowledge or aid of accountants who know the loopholes.
I always counted accountants a bit like surgeons, any of them can sew you back together but you need the specialist to sort out the problem, a lot of people don't have the right accountant for their type of business but have the guy who can fill out the basic stuff.
