Health insurance depends on if you are retiring or working.

Thank you RibeiraSacra Classified as working or retired is where we are confused. We are car booters from Scunthorpe and most people claiming and receiving benefits from the national assistance are car booters. Neither the hand out department or HMRC seem to be interested in the money they all make. Some claimants turn up in new Range Rovers.

So is this classed as working or not in Spain and the UK?.

yes you will have to pay taxes. You have to register that you are living in Spain after 90 days and then after 180 days a tax resident.
You are obtaining a pension then you are retired.There is nothing confusing IMHO.
A recently introduced law about paying taxes on second-hand goods in Spain my affect your business plans.

‘’You have to register that you are living in Spain after 90 days and then after 180 days a tax resident.’’

What happens if you do not?.

we have no criminal records but have a parking ticket 14 years ago.

So why do you want to now try and to get into trouble now?

We don’t, we were just asking the question. Presume you do not know the answer.

You are correct. I do not the answer.
I have  also never seen on a  forums there are no first hand experience of this sort of thing. Have you ever thought why? I have and have my theories.
It never came into my head to break Spanish law this way. I did not wish to live with me and the family having to keep an eye looking out for someone or some part of the Spanish authority coming after me. That is not my idea of a better life than I wanted to move from.
The process is easy and quickly undertaken.
