A move to a foreign country can be daunting, especially so if you do not speak the native language. We have been established for over 20 years and have assisted thousands of people with all matters relating to the initial move to France and ensuring compliance with their tax requirements.
Our Offering
Tax Services for Foreign Nationals in France
Our staff are all UK nationals residing in France, fluent in French and thus well versed in the intricacies of French life.
France requires the reporting of ALL your world-wide income. This does not mean you will be taxed again on the same income. However, it does mean that certain income will be subject to French taxation rather than being taxed in the country of origin.
It is important you receive the correct advice if you are living/working in France as we often come across cases where individuals have paid €000’s more in tax and social charges than they otherwise would.
