This is a very
historic moment for the UK. 43 years
after joining the European Community it now starts the process of leaving the
EU. This is new territory for us all,
and while we hope for a smooth transition there will be a period of uncertainty
until the various negotiations are completed and we find out what the changes
will be.
Leaving the EU
will affect most UK nationals, in varying degrees, whether you live in the UK
or abroad. Expatriates living in the EU
have extra concerns such as over residency, healthcare, property rights etc.
No-one can be
sure exactly what will happen next, but we can put your mind at ease in some
key areas.

Modelo 720 may be unpopular with
residents of Spain, but it is proving rather successful for the Spanish
government – which was the intention, of course.
In May, the Spanish tax authority Agencia
Tributaria published new data regarding Modelo
720.

Today, more than ever, there is a range of choice when it
comes to what you can do with your pension. An unwelcome side-effect of this
freedom is an increasing number of scams targeting people with pension savings.
One option open to British expatriates is to transfer their
UK pension into a Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme (QROPS). For
many people this is a suitable way to bring their pension with them when they
relocate. However, it is by no means a ‘one size fits all’ solution. It is also
a common focus for scammers looking to defraud people out of their pension
savings. It is crucial to look at all your options and seek regulated,
personalised advice when considering a QROPS or any other pension transfer.

There are so many attractions and advantages
to living in Chiclana de la Frontera. However, some expatriates find the tax burden
in Spain quite high, especially if they are liable to wealth tax on top of
income tax.
Wealth tax returns need to be submitted by
the end of June 2016, for assets held
at 31st December 2015. Married partners need to make separate
returns reflecting your share of any joint assets and liabilities in addition
to any personal items. If you are unhappy with your wealth tax
liability now is the time to seek advice to see what you can do to reduce your
tax bill next year.

Tax planning
is a fundamental part of protecting and maximising your wealth. Yet so many people do not review their tax
planning often enough, or do not have all the knowledge they need to set up
effective tax mitigation.
There are two
key elements to tax planning. The first
is a good understanding of the tax regimes that affect you, so that you are
fully aware of your tax obligations and how they impact your income and
wealth. If there are two regimes – for
example, you live here in Spain but are also still affected by UK taxation –
you need to know how they interact, which country you should pay tax in
etc. The second part is knowing how to
apply the rules to your advantage and use compliant arrangements to lower your
tax liabilities wherever possible.

For British
expatriates, it may seem like financial sense to keep hold of your house in the
UK. However, recent changes have generally increased the tax burden for owners
of residential properties in the UK.
If you have UK
property, it is important to understand what has changed and how you might be
affected.
