Jett Parker-Holland Spectrum IFA

I wanted to share a quick article I’ve written about something that catches out a lot of British expats in Spain — Modelo 720.

It’s not a tax bill, but a declaration that Spanish tax residents must complete if they hold more than €50,000 in overseas assets. Simple enough, yet every year, people are fined or flagged simply for not realising it applies to them.

The good news is that, with a bit of planning, you can often simplify or even remove the need to declare certain assets altogether. Spanish-compliant investment structures make life far easier (and cleaner) once you’re living here.

If you’re already settled in Spain or planning the move soon, it’s worth a read.

Are you unknowingly leaving up to 40% of your wealth to the taxman?

I wrote this article earlier this year, but it’s just as important now. Many expats are still unaware of how recent UK tax changes could mean up to 40% of their UK assets being lost to inheritance tax.

If you have pensions, property, or savings in the UK but plan to live in Spain long-term, this is worth reading. It could make a big difference to what you leave behind.

New UK inheritance tax rules are already in place, and they could have a big impact on British expats living in Spain. If you’ve worked hard to build up your savings, pensions, and property, it’s worth understanding how these changes could affect what you leave behind.

I’ve written a short article that explains what’s changed—and what you can do about it.
