I know I will need to pay for a tax advisor to be on the safe side with this, but I want to know if this is even possible before I pay for professional services.
I'm a Spanish National living and working in the UK and paying all my taxes in the UK right now.
I will be moving back to Spain in a few months and my current employer is happy to allow me to work remotely but they don't want to pay my salary in Spain because it's too complex and expensive for them.
Fair enough, so I've been looking into the double imposition agreements and I think it's possible but I see it's quite complex and I would like to know if someone here has done something similar and if they think it's worth doing.
The plan is to keep receiving my salary in my current British bank account as usual.
I've seen that you can either ask the UK Revenue office for a Tax Relief or claim the paid taxes back at the end of the Tax Year. Is this really possible? Is there any flip-side that I should take into consideration?
It will not be a 100% remote worker, I will "live" and work in the UK for 1 week a month or so. I'm not sure I will rent a place, I will probably stay in a hotel, but I will definitely be working for 1 week a month in the UK. I don't know if this is legally any different from working 100% remotely, but you tell me. If this make things more complicated, I could think about working 100% remotely.
Then I would have to talk to the Tax Office in Spain to declare my UK income and pay taxes there, but this is something I can easily do, I'm more interested in the paperwork I have to go through in the UK.
Thanks in advance for your help.
