Since 31/01/2020, when the UK left the EU, the UK has been a "Third Party" state for the purposes of the French tax treatment of UK residents and UK nationals resident in France. Because of the transition arrangements which ran until 31/12/2020, for the most part, the impact of this "Third Party" status was deferred to 01/01/2021. Because of the ongoing application of the UK-France double tax conventions, which are unaffected by Brexit, the tax impact is limited, particularly for UK nationals who were already French tax resident before 01/01/2021. Nonetheless there have been some material effects and for many, these will manifest themselves for the first time in French tax assessments issued during 2022 by reference to 2021 French taxable income. Please contact us if you would like to know more about the impact of BREXIT on your French tax position. .

ANNUAL FRENCH TAX RETURNS WHEN FRENCH RESIDENT

Are you already French tax resident or are you resident without realising it? Tax residents of France are obliged to declare worldwide income and gains, irrespective of whether some or all of that income receives a tax credit at a later stage in the assessment process.

The disclosure obligations are broad-based, the system of tax credits is complex and the scope for over payment of tax by the uninitiated is inviting. It pays to use a professional, at least for the first few years of tax residence.

PLANNING A MOVE TO FRANCE

The reputation that France is a high tax country compared to the UK is misplaced. More often than not, particularly for those in retirement, the annual tax burden is lower. Nonetheless, the tax and social security implications of a move to France are far-reaching and it pays to understand them and to take action to mitigate or avoid their impact prior to any move.

Our in-depth knowledge of the French tax system, particularly in respect to the taxation of pensions and investments, means we are well placed to quantify your situation and identify areas of action to take prior to the move and avoid potential pitfalls.

WEALTHTAX

The principle of charging an annual tax on the wealth of an individual or household is a recent topic of discussion for consideration in the UK but it has existed in practice for many years in France.

Although, for the French tax resident, its scope has been narrowed since 2018, for the non-resident the opposite is true. If the value of French property - or for a French resident, worldwide property - owned by your household, whether directly or via a company or trust, is around 1.3 million € or higher, then you need to determine whether you should be making annual wealthtax declarations.
