Some current Spanish legislation might be of direct financial benefit for readers who have recently given birth, are about to give birth or adopt a child. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you have given birth after <\/span>1 July 2007<\/span>, you may be entitled to a 2,500\u20ac child cash handout (or hand-up) from the Spanish authorities. So, if you have the good physical fortune and the not quite so good fiscal fortune to bear twins, the good news is that you are entitled to a cash payment of 5,000\u20ac \u2013 rather giving lie to the Bulls eye catchphrase: \u201cStay out the black and in the red and remember you get nothing for two in a bed\u201d. In order to apply for one\u2019s (or indeed, two\u2019s) entitlement, one need satisfy certain criteria. Let me address them<\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

First, like Family Allowance, only the child\u2019s mother can apply. Although, in the sad event that the mother is deceased or some such other stated exception, the right to apply passes to the father. <\/span><\/p>\n

Second, your child needs to have been born in <\/span>Spain<\/span> and the birth registered with the Civil Registry. Unfortunately, this means all mothers who returned to United Kingdom<\/span> to give birth are not entitled to the allowance.<\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Third, the mother needs to have been legally resident in <\/span>Spain<\/span> for the two years immediately prior to baby\u2019s birth. But, what constitutes \u2018legally resident\u2019?<\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

The easiest way to establish legal residency is by demonstrating fiscal residency i.e. you live here for more than 183 days per year and file annual Spanish income tax returns. Equally, you may still have a valid old-style residencia card, although these are becoming increasingly rare. The residency card effectively proves that you live here for 183 days per year (which, subject to certain exceptions, generally means you ought to be filing Spanish income tax returns in any event).<\/span><\/p>\n

Alternatively, the A4 residencia certificate might just do the trick if you are able to provide corroborative evidence demonstrating that you live here for more than 183 days per year (but again this would mean that you ought properly to have been filing annual Spanish income tax returns). Catch 22.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, working mothers with children younger than three enjoy tax breaks, whereby each child carries a 1,200\u20ac per year tax allowance. Further, in certain circumstances, mothers may apply for a 2,500\u20ac interest free loan \u2013 although, again, you need have given birth in <\/span>Spain<\/span>.<\/p>\n

 <\/span>To apply for the grant, allowance or loan you (or your lawyer) need to complete forms 140 or 141, each of which are available on-line (www.aeat.es<\/a>) and present the same and relevant documents, to the tax office and thank your lucky stars for such a wonderful gift!<\/span><\/p>\n
