The Spanish government said on Thursday that residents whose wealth exceeds €3 million will be subject to a new asset tax during the next two years, 2023 and 2024, as part of its upcoming budget that will need to be approved by the Spanish Congress. Budget and Public Finances Minister María Jesús Montero said the temporary wealth tax, which could affect 23,000 people, or 0.1 % of taxpayers, was one of ‘solidarity’. budget minister said this will benefit some 50% of the workforce given that the average annual salary in Spain is €21,000. Vladimir Putin is set to make hundreds of millions of pounds from a luxury development in an exclusive area of London, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. Russia is building 255 flats on a site in Kensington it bought in 2006 for £8 million using an offshore company. It is planning to use the vast profits from the scheme to refurbish its embassy properties in the capital.........But documents seen by this newspaper show that any ‘surplus remaining’ will go to the Kremlin. A shocking video shows the moment a barrel of liquid nitrogen exploded in a botched chemistry experiment in Spain - causing 15 people, including nine children, to be hospitalised. The blast from the experiment at the House of Culture in Girona left victims with burns, which were treated at Placa de l'Hospital, reported The Sun. Driving in Spain...........The ambassador’s latest message has done little to calm the anger, frustration and sense of helplessness felt by those who almost five months ago were told they could no longer drive on Spanish roads, if they were resident in Spain yet still holding a UK driving licence. Since 1 May 2022, thousands of UK licence holders who had been resident in Spain for six months or more have been unable to drive with their UK licences, even though the vast majority of other EU nations have struck deals with the UK post-Brexit for the simple exchange of driving licences. An eco warrior has prompted fury over her perplexing decision to pour a bucket of human excrement over a memorial to Captain Sir Tom Moore in a protest over the use of private jets.The bizarre decision to target a beloved national hero by former medical student Maddy Budd, 21, on behalf of pressure group End UK Private Jets. Dr Anmol Arora, a researcher at Cambridge University, argued that the devices may affect child development for a number of reasons. When they ask a question they receive a ‘specific’ and ‘concise’ answer, but this goes against how children typically learn.
