Answer:
You have to pay your own income tax in Spain,you can work it out and do it yourself, or have a Gestoria,this is a person who will work out your tax, and do the paperwork for you.You then just take the paperwork to your bank(you must have a bank account and fie number) the tax is payed in two payments,one in june or july,the other in november (there are penalties for late payments).This is just bare bones information ,you must consult the experts,due to so many variations over here.The happy mercia has made some good points also.

Answer:
The 250 euros / month is your contribution to the state for health and towards your pension,,which you can claim full pension at pension age after paying into it for just 15 years,,it also allows you to work legally,,which if found out you are not will end up in a very heavy fine for you and the employer,,and remember you have to pay tax on top of that out of your wages,,,When I lived and worked in Spain it was only 238 euros / month so it has gone up a little,,,
