British people living in Spain can now use two new social media channels to engage with fellow residents, as well as to find news and advice from the Embassy and its partners who support Britons abroad.
The new channels - Brits living in Spain on Facebook and @BritsliveSpain on Twitter – let residents search for and share useful tips and experiences, thus enabling the 800,000 -strong British community to better help each other and make more of Spanish life. The launch by the Embassy of these social media channels coincides with the first official visits this week by the new British Ambassador Simon Manley to Malaga, Alicante and Barcelona - and ahead of visits to the Spanish islands in the coming weeks.

If you have previously registered at the Chiclana census office it is important that you check to see if your Padrón documents need to be renewed. Being registered gives you important benefits and also helps with the allocation of funding to the local area by central government.
The padrón needs to be renewed every 5 years.
ChiFRA has been informed by Stefan Schauer, the city councillor for foreign residents, that all residents who have not renewed their documents by the end of June will be unsubscribed from the register.
To check your status you can go to the Department "Estadisticas” at the Town Hall which is located on the ground level. To renew your Padrón registration just take your original Padrón cerificate and fill in the renewal form.
Click here to read all about the Padrón de Empadronamiento and why it is important to register.

Press Release Issued by Cadizcasa
Not surprisingly, in these cash strapped days, the Spanish Hacienda are thinking up ways to squeeze every last drop of tax out of not only Spanish non residents who own property in Spain but Spanish residents who own property outside of Spain.
It has long been the rule that if you are a non resident and own property in Spain you should be paying non resident tax on that property and making an annual declaration to the Hacienda or Tax Authority. If you help to subsidise the running costs of your property in Spain by doing a bit of renting then you need to declare that income here in Spain also.
