Also a general Tax question is it best to pay tax in the uk on our retirement pention, house rent or interest on money from sale of house here or in the Philippines ,seems you can chose which , but dont have to pay both countrys.
Only thing is still paying any income from investements and pention tax here unless you are here for 91 days every year and thats not easy to do and expensive we both loose the normal £6500 personal allowances here. any advice please.
Joe bloggs has been mentioned or any one please could help us learn whats the best Visa and tax option for a retiring to the Phillipines couple like Teresita and me , Regards Rodney.
