Hello, I have moved to Spain but continue to work for my UK based employer remotely.
I am paid via their payroll.
I am now tax resident in Spain and I want to apply for tax refund in UK and I assume my tax code needs to be changed so I am not taxed in UK on my salary?
HMRC agent asked me to fill in 'Double taxation form' for Spain but it seems to cover only 'incapacity benefit, pensions, purchased annuities, interest or royalties arising in the United Kingdom (UK)'.
Can you please help me find the correct form to fill?
Also I have already submitted P85 form.
Thank you

Hi Ada1586
The tax treaty between the UK and Spain Spain: tax treaties will give Spain the taxing rights on your income from the date you became resident.
Further guidance can be found at: Tax on your UK income if you live abroad: Overview
Guidance regarding completion of the P85, confirming you have left the UK, but still remain employed by a UK employer is available at: Get your Income Tax right if you're leaving the UK (P85)
The P85 should show your UK employment details, so that we can arrange for your employer to pay your employment tax free, as it is taxable in Spain. You will still be liable to pay class 1 National Insurance contributions.
I note that you have already submitted the P85 to HMRC and that will be dealt with in due course.
You can check on the progress of this form through Check when you can expect a reply from HMRC
You can also find out information, along with progress of your form, by creating accounts in:
• your personal tax account
• the official HMRC app
Thank you
