Thanks guys! This is really a great help to me to know these things so I really appreciate it :) @Bunter unfortunately my mother already lives in Tortosa haha, hense one of the reasons for me going there. England just isn't for me anymore. Thank you for that website link also. @Nigel I imagine that the 261.84 euros a month is like our tax payments for being self employed over here is it? Or would you have to pay a percentage out of what you earn on top of the 261.84?
