One million Brits would benefit from dropping Brexit. Everything else is pipedreams.

PeryMasonUK seems to need the EU more than the EU needs the UK.

Morgan WilliamsI know, isn’t it awlful what people get up to ? Lock em all up is what I say.

This 90 day rule is absurd….we have to face reality…uk needs eu and eu needs uk…..the brits are the biggest group of tourists with ownership of many houses and boats

Richard PearsonBrits in particular, are famous for living full time in Spain completely without registering as resident. Prior to Brexit, it was pretty easy to do, since it was rather difficult to enforce on an EU member citizen. There's loads of examples, but it's very old news now. In another example, avoidance of taxes became particularly evident when the Balearic government began enforcing tourist licensing. Brits in particular who owned a "holiday home" we're screaming the loudest because they were paying the mortgage by Airbnb-ing the place when they weren't there, and pocketing the cash completely under the table, tax free. Naturally, many called it a "Brexit punishment" because they could no longer make tax free cash off the Spanish tourist market. And again, it's not clear why someone with a "holiday home" needs to live here most or all of the time, without the "burden" of residency. And for those who are just renting... I need not explain that (?) So forgive me for being sceptical about the motivation for all this. It's about living here most or all of the time without the "burden" of residency. There's plenty of form for it.

Ulla JacksonFor those readers who could be interested in following this line of action, could you define what you mean by “not very costly” ? Thanks

Ulla JacksonYou do realise that we are talking about holiday homes and not principal places of residence ? If the owner lives in it full time then extending his time limit is not of any importance to him as he must already be a resident. And as you must know, the laws in the Balearic Autonomy that apply to these transactions are very different to those in other parts of the country.

Richard PearsonYou don't need to donate 100% of house to your children, which means the original owner is not removed from the deeds. It means however more tax declarations every year. The cost of donations is not either complicated nor very costly.

Peter PerfectYour children are mentioned in the title deeds (escritura) ? Are you sure ?

PerYes they are.
