Cheers chaps, thanks for the info and a quick response. I contacted a  Brit accountant over a week ago who is based in Paris but I have not heard from him since I sent more details. Guess it was too much for him and  he has disappeared over the horizon (very nautical!) Will keep at it. Cheers   Jolly Jack

Hello all I have searched high and low through this site to find someone in a similar situation as myself but without success. I am at sea , paid through a UK company, PAYE, pay full NI contributions & benefit from the FED as a seafarer. I spend less than 183 days in France, a couple of weeks in the UK and the rest working at sea. I am trying to obtain information on my standing while living in France. My head is spinning from all the information I have obtained so far and NEED some help to clarify my position in respect of tax residency. The IR just send me in circles. I am aware that I have to declare my earnings to the French revenue but should not have to pay tax due to the double taxation treaty. So any seafarers out there in France, please help. Jolly Jack[:'(]
