  • RE: Tax on a UK Government Pension (if you live abroad)

    Thank you for your comment, Gary. In my case, I am a UK and a Spanish citizen (I have the two nationalities). If you are a UK National and also a Spanish National (i.e. if one has the two nationalities, British and Spanish) and live in Spain... where would one pay the tax on the "UK Government Pension"? - can you please comment on that, Admin 10? I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you very much. Kind regards.
  • RE: Tax on a UK Government Pension (if you live abroad)

    Dear Sir / Madam, Thank you for your reply. Receiving a “UK Government Pension” and being a resident abroad (in Spain) is affected by the “Double Taxation Treaty” between the UK and Spain (Article 17 and Article 18). The Treaty says: 1) If you are a UK National and a fiscal resident in Spain, you pay the tax on the "UK Government Pension" in the UK. 2) If you are a Spanish National and a fiscal resident in Spain, you pay the tax on the "UK Government Pension" in Spain. 3) What happens if you are a UK National and also a Spanish National (if one has the two nationalities, British and Spanish) and live in Spain? where would one pay the tax on the "UK Government Pension"? Please, could you reply to Point 3? Thank you very much. Thank you very much for your attention.
  • Tax on a UK Government Pension (if you live abroad)

    Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to ask about receiving a “UK Government Pension” while living abroad (in Spain). In the past, I worked 15 years in the UK as a “UK civil servant”, and because of that, I receive a “UK Government pension”. But now I live in Spain, and I am Spanish tax resident. I am a Spanish national and also a UK national (I have the two nationalities). Where is this pension taxed: in the UK, or in Spain? As I have two nationalities (Spanish and British) I don’t know where I have to pay the tax on this pension, or whether I can choose where to pay the tax? Many thanks in advance for your help, because I don’t find the answer anywhere. Kind regards.
