Living between the UK and Spain isn’t straightforward — especially when it comes to tax.

That’s where mistakes happen. And where the wrong advice can cost you.

I’m Miles Hemmings, a British accountant with 15 years’ experience working with individuals, landlords, and business owners across the UK and Gibraltar.

I’ve spent my career supporting owner-managed businesses — where you don’t need theory, you need answers. The kind of support where you can ask questions, get straight advice, and actually understand what’s going on.

I specialise in helping British expats in Spain manage their UK and Spanish tax obligations. Whether you need an expat accountant, help with a UK tax return, Spanish tax residency advice, expat tax return preparation, or ongoing support for rental income and pensions, I provide straightforward guidance tailored to your situation.

Now based on the Costa del Sol, I set up The Expat Accountant to help British expats, individuals and business owners navigate both the UK and Spanish tax systems properly.

Most of my clients deal with a mix of:

  • UK rental income

  • UK pensions

  • UK companies

  • Spanish residency

That combination is exactly where problems — and tax mistakes — happen.

Most of the people I work with aren't looking for a generic accountant.
They need someone who understands how the UK and Spanish systems interact.

How I work with clients

How It Works

For UK matters, you deal directly with me.

For Spanish tax returns, I work alongside a trusted, locally qualified Spanish tax specialist who has been practising on the
Costa del Sol since 2010.

Between us, you get:

  • Full UK understanding

  • Proper Spanish compliance

  • No gaps, no crossed wires

You don’t need to coordinate multiple advisors — it’s handled for you.

Everything is handled remotely:

  • Secure document sharing

  • Clear communication in English

  • No unnecessary meetings or complexity

Whether you’re in Marbella, Estepona, or elsewhere on the coast — the service is the same.

  • Free initial consultation — no pressure

  • Straightforward advice in plain English

  • Fast, reliable responses

  • You deal with me directly

  • Fixed fees agreed upfront

  • Based on the Costa del Sol — not “remote from the UK”

Why Clients Choose Me

No jargon. No pressure. Just clarity.
