Hi, I'm living, working, paying tax in UK while my wife and kids are living in France. In the process of applying for her Cart De Sejour, my wife has been hit with a bill from the Maladie people which amounts to 8% of my pre-tax income. There must be an E-something form with which I can cancel this out with my 10% NI? I cannot get onto the DSS website at the moment. I know from the queues at the airport that there are loads of people in the same boat as me. What's everyone else doing? 8% pretax is a bit over 12% post-tax and we can't afford that kind of outgoing!!! We pay all our other local taxes, but this one is OTT! Thanks Neil
