Hi all

So I worked in an academy from Jan to June of this year and am considering working in a different academy starting in Oct....

Both positions are/were on an hourly wage....but not autonomo....

I have heard somewhere though that I would need to fill out a tax return if I have worked in two different academies in the same year....even though I am not autonomo

Can anyone tell me more about the process? Is it difficult? Where do I get the forms? When do I have to fill the forms? Is there any help for people like me with a low Spanish level? Where can I find out more about the process?

If anyone has any idea on the matter, it would be much appreciated....

Many thanks....

Best wishes,
Siobhan

This is from expatica.com:

You must file an income tax return in Spain if you:
Earn more than EUR 22,000.00 a year.
Changed your job within the same year and your last employer paid you more than EUR 1,500 during the year.

It appears to confirm what you said in your post. I suggest you ask your new employer to help you through the procedure.

Thanks a lot for that Graham....that is very helpful to know......

I would be curious to know how anyone has dealt with that here.......

Were their new schools helpful in that regard? Or did they expect the employee to do it themselves with no support? Or did anyone hire a lawyer or someone to do it for them? And if so, what is the cost?

Again, any feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks again...
