Hi. I'm a British expat with permanent residency in Valencia, Spain.

I will shortly be receiving my UK Civil Service pension which consists of a lump sum and then monthly payments.

From what I've read on the internet, UK pensions get taxed in Spain although UK government pensions only get taxed in the UK. My Spanish Tax advisor has told me that ALL pensions are taxable in Spain.

Are there any expats in Spain who receive a civil service pension who can offer advice?

Many thanks!

I am in receipt of pensions as an ex Civil Servant in the UK. I submit my UK and Spanish tax returns every year through my tax adviser and whilst I pay tax in the UK, I do not pay tax in Spain. Civil Service pensions do not get taxed in Spain. It may be worth your while to seek professional advice from other tax advisers. Good luck.

Thank you for your reply. It seems that I've wasted 90鈧� on getting incorrect advice! If you or any other expat who receives a UK Civil service pension can recommend a tax advisor who can help me, it'd be much appreciated!
