Expatriates Asked by algiogia on September 25, 2021
I’m planning to move to France but I will still be employed by a UK company.
According to the HMRC website, my taxes will be payable in the UK but I read on an old forum that the French authorities may not be happy about it.
Anyone with a similar experience that can help? IS it true that the company should set up payroll in France?
We also have offices in Switzerland and Luxemburg, would it be easier to be employed there?
Since 2009, France and the UK have a double taxation treaty (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/france-tax-treaties)
So, you have to pay your yearly tax in the country you spend at least 183 days (half the year+1). Then, you can deduct what you've paid in the other country with the double taxation treaty.
I am familiar with this situation concerning Spain (residence and country of nationality) and the UK and it works fine. However, my yearly income tax is revised thoroughly to see if I made the tiniest mistake. I guess this is the "French authorities may not be happy about it" you read about.
France has similar double taxation treaties with Switzerland and Luxemburg. The last one will remain a member of the EU, but I don't think it changes so much because I had to ask for the refund of taxes here pre-Brexit and I had to prove everything and follow all the steps very carefully.
