France offers an exciting place to live for many UK expats. Rural countryside, excellent food and property cheaper than the UK.

However, the tax system in France is notoriously complex and at a higher rate than the UK. Dreams of retiring to France come with a shock about the taxes to be paid.

Many people start their life in France as a hobby or on a part time basis and this is especially dangerous if you don't take careful advice over your residency position. Just because you also have a home in the UK does not stop you falling foul of French tax residency rules.

We have contacts locally in France that we work with regularly which allows us to deliver advice that considers both your UK and your French positions. By contacting us early we can help you plan your strategy with greater certainty.

The UK has a Double Tax Convention with France which was updated on 19 June 2008 and applies to persons or businesses who are resident of one or both countries.
