Snippets
from the Spanish press
What
is it with Spanish sport at the moment? Of course,
Spain won the world cup in football, we all know that,
even a recently deceased octopus, but what about all
the other titles they've been picking up too?
We’ve
had, Carlos Sastre’s Tour de France triumph, Rafael
Nadal’s Wimbledon championship win and we’ve just missed
out on the Formula 1 World Championship.
Is it something in the water? Perhaps it’s time we did
start drinking it.

What
the word is on the streets
The
news is out that Amazon have bought out the Spanish
online retailer BuyVIP and that there will be free
delivery of items to Spain if the cost of them amounts
to more than 25 pounds. Buying through Amazon remains
a good way of purchasing those items that seem to be
rather more expensive in Spain such as printer ink and
blue-ray discs. Find
out more.

Legal
and Tax Updates
Remember, if you are a non-resident the deadline
for completing your Spanish tax declaration is 31st
December.
This is becoming increasingly important - please make
sure you comply! Read our "tax quiz" article
Whose
tax is it anyway? to find out where you stand.
Just
in case you are in any doubt the article 31st
December - your last chance explains exactly what
imputed tax is and why non-residents who don't rent
out their property should be paying it.
What
is a Denuncia?
On a slightly more subdued note if you are a victim
of crime in Spain you should complete a Denuncia
at the Local Police, Guardia Civil or National Police
station. You will need to make the Denuncia in Spanish
so might need to take an interpreter with you.
Alternatively you can make it over the phone by calling
902-102-112 and providing your NIE and full address.
You can do this in English but must wait for an English
operator and this might take a little while. It will
then be faxed to your nearest police station where you
will need to sign it.
