"Doctors point out that foreigners in tourist areas use more health resources than other migrants", La Voz de Lanzarote (EFE), 03 | 09 | 2025 - Entrevista (Carlos Ramírez, migration and health working group of the Canary Society of Family and Community Medicine)

Ramírez is one of the participants in the pre-congressional table of the XLIII Annual Meeting of the Spanish Society of Epidemiology (...) in which ... experts are addressing ... the challenges of healthcare for migrant people and dismantling the hoaxes that are repeated on this matter. Some of them are ... that migrants are carriers of diseases or abuse the health system. "In the health centers of tourist areas we also attend to other foreign people who are never talked about, such as Europeans -Italians and British, fundamentally- who retire in the south of the Peninsula and the Canary Islands, who are older people and make greater use of resources," he points out. Likewise, the islands also receive a significant number of migrants arriving by plane from Colombia, Venezuela and Cuba, who have already accumulated several generations in the Canary Islands, also older people who go to the health system more often.

 

"British ex-pats in France face being hammered for their pensions in devastating new order", Daily Express, 29 | 08 | 2025 - Reportaje (Michael D. Carroll)

British expats living in France are being clobbered with devastating four-figure tax bills on their public sector pensions, despite longstanding laws that should shield them from such charges. Since 2010, public sector pensions have been protected from French income and social taxes under the UK-France Double Taxation Convention. But a string of retired public sector workers, including former teachers and police officers, claim they have been ordered to cough up thousands of euros for social security for the first time... British retirees receiving a state pension can apply to the NHS for an S1 form, which entitles them to state healthcare in France, paid for by the British government. Early retirees - who have not yet reached the British state pension age - do not qualify for an S1. ... In several cases this year, the French government has slapped social charges on British expats' public sector pensions for the first time. Authorities cited the fact that individuals did not have S1s as the reason for the ... charge. ... a pre-retirement benefit ... would put it outside the scope of double taxation rules.

Las pensiones irlandesas están fuertemente sujetas a restricciones nacionales. El Umbral de Fondos Estándar limita los ahorros de pensiones fiscalmente eficientes a 2 millones de euros, y todo lo que supere este límite está sujeto a un gravamen del 40%.
