Oops, sorry sir, please sir, I was only answerin' betise's question, honest!

In this universe 😉

Is David Lister your REAL name?

If Belves or Corrin were to meet the mod DaveLister, what question would you ask him?

Menthe, I must admit, I was working on our tax form last night and had got to savings, and on checking got quite a surprise how much there was .. not excessive, but after a miserable year before, like you it was a minor shock ...

Yes, DL, of course I meant social charges though I have broadly use "tax" to mean anything we have to pay on the tax returns. OH has a couple of annuities so we were used to paying sc from those but certainly interest from savings wouldn't be enough to count for much.

Interest has certainly become " a problem" in the last couple of years. It's not the tax so much as the social charges.

Concerns taxes and interest from savings and the déclaration for 2023. After years of getting zilch, I have had a bit of a shock on gathering the figures in anticipation of the tax declaration next month, to find strange looking largish sums added to our savings accounts! Amounts for interest.....but don't know if I should be jumping around for joy too soon. What with the state pensions increase and now interest increase, I am wondering about (you guess it!) this year's tax bill! Completely forgotten by now what it felt like when the exchange rate was 1.47 and interest rates on savings were 7 - 10% And now this unexpected good fortune has completely floored me! Has anyone else been surprised, delighted, thrown into confusion....and what other emotion?

Well if it was on the BBC Cossie, Elizabeth my dear…it must be true.

I’m sneezing reading your posts.

Thks Belves…never thought of all that. 😂

Dealt with.

Renewing a 3 year old thread to post a link...

I think it's worth waiting a little bit, maybe 2-3 months, and see how things evolve. Giving it some time might help provide a clearer picture of whether moving is the right choice or if things improve where you are. It's a big decision, especially with kids involved and getting reacquainted with the UK if you decide to move back.

And booking.

I got some new allergies myself, and I don't know why. And now in spring I sneeze like every 5 min.

With technology these days, it makes sense to have a more automated system for checking insurance.

No, just wondering what your motives are in joining the forum. ( that goes for you too Belves )

" It " ????????

do you guys need photos or something? 🙂

To me it seems like a real person

Yeah, agree with Corrin. Plus, petrol engines are generally quieter and have lower emissions, which could be a factor if environmental impact is a concern.

Good to point official source. In addition, this website is giving a cristal clear picture of all corporate structure for freelancers in France, I highly recommand it. It has a complete tax and social contributions simulator which enables to calculate net income, future pension rights, as well as sickness allowance and more..

Personally I think Corrin is a real person. Aren't you Corrin ?

I have a sneaking suspicion that we may have an AI bot posting somewhere on this, and other threads.
