We decided against completing the blood test in order to save our cat from the stress of the process. Our Vet suggested it would be less than pleasant for her and since we have no intention of coming back it seemed like the right thing to do. Otherwise I take your point and appreciate your comments.

We are off to our new home in The Var in September. we have the cat chipped and vaccinated but did not complete the final blood test since we have decided she will not be coming back, neither are we. Do we need to have her checked by our vet before setting out or can we just drive on and drive off the train and go on our merry way? I am confused as to whether we need some kind of documentation signed by the Vet less than five days before we travel. Any other tips for taking the cat through the tunnel and on down to our french paradise. The forum has been a great help as we prepared for the purchase of a home and all the steps since. :Thanks, Franchesco

Hi We have been out in the Var for a week and are just back. We found the home of our dreams and have signed the Compris de vente and all going well move out in September. Still we get conflicting advice even there so we are still open to advice. Thanks for the interest to date, as new forum member it is encouraging.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I am sure you are not being rude.My accountant does not have the knowledge and given some of the other inputs to this forum it seemed like a decent question to ask. Other forum members have indicated they had issues with finding good tax advice in the UK regarding complicated situations like ours.   I do have contacts in Nice who I am sure can help but it would be nice to have a more local contact here prior to going out there.

My partner and I will move to the Var in September/October time. We need really good tax advice can anyone recommend a Scottish based expert or someone else who can help. Web are both employed by my business here in the Uk. My partner will work entirely from our new home in France while I will work from home too but will regularly return to the UK to deliver my products to Uk based clients. Our office will be in Scotland employing some uk based staff however the business is owned by myself and we will reside in France. I suppose I am thinking we can pay taxes as residents in France but as employees of a Uk company and of course pay taxes for the cuisines in the Uk. It seems a real challenge to get facts so far. Can anyone help.

Thanks again. We already have all the necessary professional contacts in Nice but would like to run it passed a Scots team. There are adds in the mags for English based advisors so if it comes to it we will use them. Anyway was it all worth it in the end and is the reality better than the dream, we cant wait.

Thank you Boiling a Frog, Its cool to have a response. Was your friend experienced in internatoinal removals or just a friend willing to have a go? Any other advice ,we intend to move in late September. Did you use a a Scottish based tax advisor or lawyer? Can you recommend anyone based here to assist us in our move. KInd regards Franchesco

Moving to Var late summer. Can anyone recommend a removal company and tips, advice , experience etc?
