In general, double tax treaties signed between countries are designed to determine the taxation rights of the different income and gains, when there is a conflict (i.e. when assets are located in one country and the individual is resident in another, or when someone is considered resident for tax purposes in two different countries due to each country’s domestic rules). UK nationals living in Spain need to understand how the Spain-UK double tax treaty works and affects them. It is importantto know where your taxes are due.

Are you sure? For British expatriates, understanding domicile is an important element of estate planning. It is domicile, not residence, that determines your liability for UK inheritance tax. With rates at 40%, UK inheritance tax is one of the most expensive taxes facing British families – and living in Spain does not automatically protect you. Determining domicile Domicile is a complex and incredibly adhesive UK common law concept. The basic rule is that a person is domiciled in the country in which they have their permanent home – the country regarded as your ‘homeland’. However, you can remain UK-domiciled even after living abroad for many years. There are three types of domicile under English law: · Domicile of origin – where a child takes their father’s (or single/unmarried mother’s) domicile (not necessarily their country of birth). · Domicile of dependence – applies to women married before 1974 (whose domicile will mirror their husband’s) as well as minors and other legal dependents. · Domicile of choice – acquired by moving permanently to another country.
