Was apprehensive to watch this as I enjoy your videos tremendously and feared you were returning to Canada. Thanks for staying. And thanks for sharing. 😅
There are more Spain videos on the way. I'm currently doing some traveling, there will be some Mexico and Hawaii videos coming in a bit. Thanks for watching!
Wow! This is great information to know how to end your visa with Spain. I would have never realized that there’s a process to leaving. Wouldn’t want to run into tax issues!
We are a Canadian couple from the maritimes currently wintering in Argentina, we will be back home for at least 6 months. You definitely are very informative. Im curious as to the tax implications for Canadians living in Spain. I realize that Spain is significantly less expense that living in Canada but after dual taxation is that still so. Would love to see a video on this subject. Cheers
Hi, Argentina, sounds amazing. There is no double taxation as Canada and Spain have a tax treaty. But Spain will tax your global income, basically any tax paid in Canada is applied in Spain as a credit. I file my first tax return this May, a video should follow.
Thank you, I did a little reading up on the tax treaty for us as newly retired we may not see as much of a financial benefit from living is Spain, relative to their tax rate compared to the Canadian rate. I believe as a non resident and at our income we would see a flat 25% tax from Canada. Which because of our ability to income split for tax purposes is very similar to what we would be taxed as citizens. I know as in Canada in Spain tax rates will very per autonomous state...Thanks for the reply looking forward to upcoming videos@@TheEmptyMiddleSeatTravel
Thank you for the information. If you're able to share, what circumstances (excluding personal issues, of course) did your friend encounter that led him to leave after only 3 months?
Hi, he said he just didn't think it was a good fit for him. He couldn't connect with people (he is bilingual), and found it small with a lack things to do. Maybe Valencia or another big city might have been better. He grew up in South America and lived in Canada as an adult. I think he was hoping for more of a South American feel. He also had a hard time finding a good apartment, I think he was in three different places in three months. He is currently down in South America and seems to be enjoying it there.
Thanks for this. Your videos are so informative, clear and to the point. Just long enough that one does not lose attention.
