I did not respond to Benjamin as it was of no consequence. I sought an answer to a question, which others kindly attempted to supply. At the moment I have no definitive response. We are currently sorting out many things, and the question of a pension will have to wait, but not too long as we don't want to end up being told we should have been paying if we do not make contributions. I appreciate the point about feedback, as a means of showing appreciation, and I certainly appreciate the responses of those who have made a positive contribution. And to respond to Ron Avery - I do not know what I am going on about, as you put it, which is why I made the post in the first place.I would have thought that was obvious

We have just discovered that there is an obligation to make pension payments in France. Is the amount due based on a percentage of earnings (gross or nett) and is one obliged to make a private 'top up' contribution, or does it depend on what you personally want to achieve as a pension?

My wife and I are directors of a UK based and registered company, from which we draw a salary. In order to get health treatment in France we know we need a carte vitale, but have twice been asked for an E106, which we are not entitled to - according to Inland Revenue. Thus, we want to pay CPAM contrubutions, but so far have drawn a blank -even after talking to a most helpful CPAM english speaking employee who said that we did not have to pay but that we needed the E106! Next stop - the Mairie, but has anyone else been in the same situation?

Well, thats a start - thankyou. Now to look up 'car accessory' in the dictionary, and 'set them up'. g

We need to convert our headlights prior to re-registering. Does anyone know of any Rover garages in or near the Limousin, or indeed, any garage that could do this. Also, does anyone have any experience of registering a Rover in France? We unbderstand the process, but its more a question of any problems that may have arisen as a result of the Rover collapse and subsequent buyout.
