HMRC -double taxation ,etc

When you take up permanent residence in Spain its essential to submit a tax return to theHacienda in your first tax year even though your earnings maybe below the threshold
This gets you onto their system and gets a Tax number /certificate-Residencia Fiscal en Espana Convene
This is required when you apply to HMRC for Double taxation status -otherwise if you drawdown for Private pension etc then the HMRC will deduct tax and you will then need to get rebated (more paperwork )
The problem with HMRC is they are getting worse on communication
I sent information by post inAugust 2023 and still await acknowledgement and I,ve tried several times phoning them spending 1 HR each time and no reply
Has anyone else has these issues ?
