I think I spotted treatment of 1 and 2 on the Annett Consultancy site which you have the link for.....not sure about 3, and I am also searching for info on where to declare income from UK unit trusts, if anyone knows?

Got it - thanks - very helpful;   Have spotted that I have to include ISA interest which I had forgotten, but does anyone know where to declare income from UK unit trusts?      

Okay thanks - obviously bank and building society interest is reported under B: AUTRES REVENUES DE VALEURS MOBILIERES ET REVENUES ASSIMILES; what about income from UK unit trusts?  

Thanks for the link ... but doesnt seem to work?

Youre right it is a bit odd and yes I got my E106 on the back of my own NI record. However I would have thought that our situation vis a vis hubbie working (or will be again soon in my case) in the UK and therefore 'tax resident' there whilst wife/family are in France, is quite common nowadays although obviously our situation is currently more complicated .... In any case I still have to do the tax declaration by 30th May so I reckon the best course of action is to declare all my bits and pieces here and in the UK and explain my husband's situation to the tax office and once his situation is back to normal, take some professional advice....

Can anyone recommend a good site which gives the translations of French tax return vocab into English? Or the forms translated? Thanks - Deborah

Hi Sunday Driver - well its been difficult but basically we have lived off savings, friends and compensation payments from the main developpers of the project due to the project delay (which will have to be unravelled with the UK tax authorities at some stage).....

HI Cooperlola - husband's permanent home is here although he lives in rented accommodation in the UK during the week. So guess I put his details on the form.... I had an E106 on the relevant date last year so have been able to affiliate to CMU with that.  One other thing you may be able to help with - as the UK financial year is April/April and the French is Jan/Jan, for purposes of reporting interest earnt on UK accounts, is it okay just to declare the yearly total or should I get a monthly average for each UK tax year and apply that to the French financial year? Thanks for your advice so far Deborah

Help!  Has anyone any up to date advice/experience of completing tax return in the above situation?  I am here permanently, my husband is here at weekends only. This is my first decalarion and I have forms 2047, 2042, 2042 complementaire, 3916, and FD5 and an R43 - is this it and am I correct in thinking they all need to be completed? RE 2047 and 2042 - Do I also put my husbands details on these forms even if he is resident in UK for tax purposes?  RE: INCOME 1/ I have no income here except for a small amount of bank interest earnt in UK which I know I have to declare; also small amount of Livret B interest also will be declared 2/ my husband sends money monthly to pay our french mortgage and living expenses which I was verbally told at the tax office that I neednt declare - is that correct/do I need to put explanation on any of the forms? 3/ further complication is that he is a restauranteur in the UK but the restaurant has been closed for renovation since Jan 2007 and so he has not been earning a wage nor paying NI during that time... Finding forms very hard so once I am armed with relevant information, I think I will go in and ask them to help me to complete forms. Any advice would be most gratefully received - thanks, Deborah
