My wife and I, both retired, are thinking of letting our house in England and renting in Spain. We would like to do so without “moving” to Spain i.e. we will just be living there. I believe there is a 183 days rule, and I think we wouldn't want to spend six months of the year back in England. There might also be an ethical aspect to this, viz living somewhere without paying taxes there. Is is unreasonable to say that we would offset this by our input into the Spanish economy?
All opinons gratefully received, especially from anybody living in Spain in this way.
