BLACKTOWER VIEW – Keith Littlewood in Murcia and Costa Cálida

New beginnings

Most commonly, Keith’s clients are new retirees who are between 60 and 65. Often Keith and his new clients sit down and discuss things over a glass of wine or a cup of coffee in the comfort of a home or café environment rather than in an office. After all, many of his clients are retirees who have just escaped offices and workplaces, what better than to enjoy your financial planning in a relaxed atmosphere.

Every new client relationship begins with a no-obligation conversation and this suits Keith just fine; he loves his job and he loves talking to people.

Keith’s clients all have one thing in common: they wish to get most out of their money so that they can enjoy their retirement to the greatest degree possible. As an international financial adviser and expat, Keith brings a uniquely informed perspective to help clients organise their investments and tax affairs.

Expats Can Take Advantage of Tax Changes in Murcia and Andalucía

Goals for 20182018 has brought good news for many expats tackling the idiosyncrasies of finance in Spain and, especially for those who want to manage their legacy planning successfully.

This is because British and other EU citizen expatriates in Spain have received a boost in relation to succession tax laws.

Under the Spanish regional system, expats in Spain (but not those from outside the EU or EEA) can avoid costly Spanish state succession rules on passing; instead they are able to take advantage of kinder regional laws, such as those just implemented by Murcia and Andalucía.

In these areas, if you have Spanish assets but have not quite yet become a fully-fledged expat or indeed if you have Spanish property but still reside full-time in the UK; your heirs, wherever they may live, are entitled to the full range of succession tax reliefs offered by the region in which your assets are invested. Sometimes this may be as much as 99% succession tax relief or, in some cases, total exemption.
