Advice please.
My Wife & Son will be moving out to Malaga for 2 years to live whilst my son attends a tennis academy and potentially an international school/ home school. I work for a UK FTSE 100 company in a Global role with a small amount of travel. (Mostly web conferencing) but employed by the UK legal entity with my office based in the UK. (My wife does not work and my son is of school age)
I want to balance my time between working from UK & Spain to maintain a work life balance. I will live in my UK property (owned) whilst I am in the UK and rent in Spain on a long term rent. I have Spanish and UK bank accounts and will remain paid on UK payroll.
Initial conversation with my company want me to propose my working pattern over a typical 12 months and this comes out as 76 working days in Spain, 151 working days in UK with a total residency of 139 days in Spain and 226 in the UK.
I am quite confident I am OK from the residency and UK domicile that I remain a UK resident and tax payer and I will not register my Spanish address with the UK company, so I won’t receive any goods, services or hold any company assets at the location other than my work laptop and mobile phone which travel with me. I’m higher rate taxpayer and get no allowances.
Are there any tax liabilities for either me or the company from this proposal… they seem to be making a meal out of the request with unintended subsidiaries registered in Spain or tax leakage from the UK business.
Any help / advice or recommendation of someone I can ask.
I am a British national and my wife and son have dual nationality of British and Irish.
Many thanks
