France remains one of the most popular countries of choice, with UK nationals seeking to relocate or retire abroad.
Expats and prospective expats moving overseas need to understand how their tax liabilities may change and what actions they can take to secure their residency status.
The tax regulations in France are significantly different from those in the UK, so it is vital to understand those laws and how they apply to your circumstances to plan effectively for your relocation.
Chase Buchanan has created a FREE Guide: The Chase Buchanan Guide – Taxes in France to explain the most important considerations for UK nationals living in France.
Whether you are considering buying a property, taking up employment, writing a Will, or transferring your assets, taxes remain crucial in relocating to any state. Knowing what you will be liable to pay and how to manage those obligations is key to financial security and the ability to plan with confidence.
Our free Guide works through every aspect of how taxes affect life in France:
- Income taxes, rates and exemptions.
- Succession tax planning and international Wills.
- Wealth tax, social charges and income tax explained.
- Correctly declaring international income.
- Structuring offshore investments beneficially.
- How to protect your pension income from overseas.
Chase Buchanan is a wealth management expert, supporting British expats and retirees internationally.
We have created our FREE downloadable Guide to provide a comprehensive overview of how taxes in France work, complete with tax tables.
As with every country, France’s rules and regulations are unique, and some taxes will be new to UK nationals since no equivalent exists in Britain.
Understanding these rules before your move means being aware of any arising tax charges, structuring your assets most beneficially, and budgeting correctly for liabilities.
Following the UK’s departure from the EU in 2020, it has never been more crucial that UK expats seek expert advice to correctly structure their finances and assets ahead of a relocation abroad. From residency status to tax liability, cross-border taxes, to double tax treaties, having a firm grasp of the rules is pivotal to planning correctly.
