Can anyone tell me if Capital Gains Tax is liable to be charged by the French Taxation system on a property sold in the UK after 20 years of ownership? If so how would it be calculated i.e. would the tax be payable on the gain between the selling price and the purchase price of 20 years ago. Have been a resident and tax payer in France for 5 years. Cheers Jerry

[quote user="ventodue"][quote user="jerrycan"] Off topic are you the ventodue I've seen on other forums with a bevel drive Ducati?[/quote] Strangely ... yes! You'll have to reveal your alto ego, now ... [:D] [/quote] I'm on the bevel heads list, more of a lurker really, only post when I feel the 'Mericans need their "facts" correcting. I have a Hailwood Replica which I'm trying to get registered here in France.

Cheers Ventodue I'll have a look at that. Off topic are you the ventodue I've seen on other forums with a bevel drive Ducati?

[quote user="Lehaut"]Concrete is not too pretty, top layer of nice gravel brought to the top with either acid or jet spray gives a more appealing look.[/quote] I see this quite a lot in pedestrianised shopping areas and fancy doing it for my own drive. What exactly are the techniques involved?

[quote user="idun"]I really hope that you are not recommending that others break these rules. And as you knew the rules, why on earth did you break them? [/quote] Hmmm did I say I was recommending anything? I had made my travel arrangements based on what our vet (French) had told us " as long as it has a rabies vaccination you can enter France with your new puppy". It was only after this that my wife, decided to investigate further and found the 21 days after rule. Unfortunately the plans were in place so I took the calculated risk and travelled! Simples

Well, various websites say that the animal can only travel / enter France 21 days after the full anti-rabies vaccination.

Hi I've just brought a 12 week old puppy into France from the UK and would like to relate the experience to the forum. I will let you draw your own conclusions. Puppy was 12 weeks old on the Wednesday and was booked in for his rabies jab and micro chip on the same day. Issued with his passport which stated that the vaccination date and the valid from date are the same date as the vaccine was given. Travelled from Newhaven to Dieppe on the Thursday night ferry where the passport checks were carried out however no check made of the puppy's micro-chip, in fact I don't think the young lady even looked at the dog! Boarded ferry and left a confused looking puppy in the car for the next 4 hours. On arrival at Dieppe our passports ( the humans not the dogs) were given a cursory glance and we were waved on our way. Job Done. A few weeks of worry by the other half for what!!!

I would just try draining the float bowls before you start taking anything to pieces. It sounds to me like there may be a bit of water in there (condensation).

Thanks all for the information, great help!!!

Hi thanks for the reply's, it sounds pretty straight foreward. I'm presently working in the BP SGA (Southern Gas Asset) out of Humberside. I'm on standby at the minute waiting for a weather window for the Seafox 1 to move alongside West Sole Alpha, then I hope to fly out to Limoges to look at a couple of properties the OH has got all revved up about!!!

My wife and I are looking at moving to France hopefully sometime this year. In fact the OH is currently in the Dordogne looking at properties. I work in the Offshore Oil and Gas industry and usually work a 2 weeks on 2 weeks off rotation. This means in any 28 day period that the maximum time I would spend in France would be 13 days with 15 days spent in the UK. My question is would I be able to work and pay my taxes in the UK as I presently do and for my wife to be a French resident as she would be spending all her time in France? Any information or advise would be welcome. Max
