Jackie Did you ever register at the tax office ? My wife was getting taxed on her pension in the UK when we firs...

Re: Receiving your pension in Cyprus

To get the UK tax code "NT" you must be a non-resident in UK; you get this by applying to be eligible for the Double Taxation Agreement between UK and Cyprus. You can download the application form P85 on-line from the UK HMRC website. Take it to the Cyprus tax office (you cannot do it via...

Re: Sat Nav

If you have a smart phone you can get a free sat nav app and have a play before you go back to the UK .

I use an app called "Be On Road " and it works well for me here in Cyprus .

Re: Receiving your pension in Cyprus

P60s are not much help , the Cyprus tax year is January to December . And you can not just times the state pension by 52 because it changes each year in April .

Re: JCC payments

I use JCC to pay my EAC and CYTA it always redirects to my bank for the extra security check . I am with Helenic .

It's part of Verified by Visa , which most people will know .

But of course with financial security always check with your bank .

Re: MAG subscriptions

I'm with Geoff , the Nowtv box is great and I would recommend it to anyone .

You get a menu system similar to a mag box at a fraction of the cost , obviously not as many channels , but I don't need them .
