Hello,

I am a Canadian (that also can carry a British passport) and will continue to work for a Canadian Company (ie get paid T4) ect.  But I want to live in Spain, therefore not looking to get a job in Spain.  Can I do this, how long.  Can I get Spanish Health, etc. 
The reason is that the company I work for (large tech company) may not be able to easily transfer me to Spain, I am working on it.  I am looking an understanding of tax etc.  I do not own a home in Canada, currently renting.  I have some RRSPs and Stock.  I obviously would sell my car.  But will have to maintain a Canadain Bank account for Payroll purposes.

Am I limited to only be there for 6 months?  Or will I then have to pay tax in both countries, I am bit confused by the tax agreeement between Spain and Canada.  Would it be easier if I had a british passport?  I am a Canadian Citizen but born in Scotland. 

Any insight would be welcome.

thanks,

Campbell
