Payments on Account

As from the start of 2019 the French Government have introduced a cross between PAYE and U.K. self assessment.

This means that all Taxpayers are having to make a monthly payment from a French bank of an amount predicted to cover the tax and national insurance liability for the year - basically of your tax bill for 2018 was € 2 400 then you will be asked for a monthly payment of € 200 - If your circumstances have changed we can ask for this amount to be changed.

Who knows! - this still seems to be changing daily and our money is still on "it will never happen"

Social Charges

A typical "courtroom" fudge means that some social charges have been categorised as "Tax" and some as "contributions towards social care" meaning that social charges (at a lower rate) can be charged on incomes of non Tax resident individuals.

These re named social charges have been named the solidarity Tax!

Essentially this means that U.K. residents making French profits (in the main on Gite'sand other property rentals) now pay 20% French incomeTax plus 7.5% solidarity tax
