Lidl Lanzarote will be opening its doors on 11th March 2010! Lidl will be in Arrecife next door to Ikea on the Carretera de los Marmoles, which runs from Arrecife towards Costa Teguise. Lidl have already confirmed that the opening of their stores will be a boost for the local economy, creating 500 jobs.
Spanish government incentive to airlines
Ryanair’s expansion in the Canary Islands comes as a direct response to the Spanish governments recent decision to reduce tourist taxes in Spain to zero and the 100% discount on airport charges this winter. The move has delighted investors with holiday homes in Lanzarote, as lower cost flights will allow owners to enjoy more frequent travel. As a result, experts are predicting a boost for the Lanzarote property market . Year round sunshine, short haul flights, attractive property prices and now low cost flights make Lanzarote the ideal holiday home location.

Pensions for ex pats - new rules
British expats abroad can now get more control over their pension plans thanks to new rules that remove many restrictions for people who retire overseas.
They can pay lower tax on income drawn from a relatively new form of pension (Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme) QROPS avoid being forced to invest capital in an annuity which dies with the purchaser and pass their wealth to friends and family free of tax on death.
QROPS, as its name suggests, this is a form of pension based outside the UK which is recognised by the British authorities as being eligible to receive transfers from registered UK pension funds. Reputable advisers will only recommend transfers to countries which provide consumer protection equivalent or greater than the safeguards in the UK.
People who are living inside or outside the UK can transfer their deferred company and personal pensions to a QROPS. Any pension can be transferred as long as an annuity has not been purchased or, if it’s a final salary scheme which the pension has not commenced.
Where the pensioner has not been resident in the UK for five complete and consecutive fiscal years – and the tax rules determining residence will be examined in detail later in this guide – HMRC restrictions on how income and capital are spent no longer apply.
The best option for you will depend on your personal circumstances and it makes sense to take professional advice which can take account of your individual needs and objectives.
British pensions that can be transferred to a QROPS include former employers’ occupational schemes (but not final salary or defined benefit schemes already in payment); Superannuation Schemes; Executive Pension Schemes; Self Invested Personal Pension Schemes (SIPPSs); Small Self Administered Schemes (SSASs); Section 226 Personal Pension Schemes; Section 32 Pension Transfers and Personal Pensions.
Although QROPS is a relatively new product, what has become clear is that both Professional Advisers and clients should be cautious regarding their choice of QROPS provider and QROPS jurisdiction and a poor choice can lead to frozen pensions, high tax bills or both.

Weddings which do not bankrupt Dad!
Congratulations! So you are getting married.
Naturally you will want a wonderful stress free day with only happy memories to look back on for the rest of your life. However, in reality what all too often happens is entirely different. In many cases the happy couple is left with a huge burden of debt hanging over them marring what should be a wonderfully happy start to their married life.
A wedding these days can set you back on average around €30,000 and that’s only for the basics! Every bride dreams of their perfect wedding day and if you have to constantly be aware of the cost and the ensuing debt it is impossible to really have the day you would like without feeling guilty and miserable. So with the rising price of weddings in the UK and Ireland you will find it a less expensive option to have your celebration abroad by combining your dream wedding or blessing with a honeymoon.
Lanzarote is fast becoming one of the top spots for Wedding and Blessing ceremonies.
Lanzarote is able to offer an array of churches for Catholic ceremonies as well as some fabulous wedding venues for that special second time around, blessings & renewal of vows ceremonies in the most stunning locations across the island.
Imagine being married or blessed under the warm sunshine of this paradise island.
The tax free prices in the Canary Islands mean that your special day could work out to be considerably less expensive than you may otherwise have budgeted for. (The average price of a wedding here may be around a third of the cost of the same wedding in UK and Ireland).
Being a Catholic country the Church wedding criteria is that either the bride or the groom must be catholic and neither one must be divorced. However it is also possible to have a blessing ceremony as we have our own resident vicar who carries out the Church of England blessings for wedding and the Renewal of Vows.
A qualified wedding planner will guide you through the paperwork; arrange the church and reception, the photographer and entertainment, printing, flowers, hair, makeup, transport and everything which is required to make the day go as smoothly as possible.
Let your imagination run away with you about where you envisage having your wedding, blessing or the Renewal of Vows ceremony. Imagine for a moment being married in a place where the weather is the practically guaranteed and the cost will not make you bankrupt before you begin.
For a list of requirements and more in depth information please take a look through our website which will introduce you to the wedding planners who we work with and recommend. You will also be able to check out our flight, car hire and accommodation packages some of which we can specially tailor to suit your entire party’s needs at very good rates. Go on think about it and dream away……………………see my website for further details and contacts.
