Hi All, This is a question that's been asked thousands of times before but whereever I look I struggle to see a definitive answer so thought I would ask the question to see if anyone could offer some advice. To give you a quick overview we (myself, wife and 2 kids) are currently based in the UK but considering a move to France sometime in the next 1-3 years. My son was born in France and my wife has lived there for approx 8 years previously so is fluent in the language, she still has family living there also so we have a good idea on what to expect. What's causing the issue is that I currently work predominantly from home in the UK (for a London based company) and could potentially keep this employment should we move abroad. Tax would obviously be the big issue so what I'm trying to work out is how we would do this. Firstly if I was in France pretty much full time and secondly if I spent 184 days per year or whatever the requirement is in the UK would this affect where I pay tax? We currently own 2 properties in the UK so would look at keeping a base/address here. I guess my ideal is for us to live in France generating some income from Gites/B&B (my wife has owned a hotel/gite complex previously with family) and she may possibly look at teaching languages also. Where as I would ideally like to keep my job in the UK, so any tips on how best we could work this would be great. As you can tell from my comments above I have rather been going round in circles with this so just need someone to point me in the right direction :-) Many thanks
