  1. [quote user="ericd"] You obviously know who those people are so why are you asking members to declare if yes or no they are those same mentioned posters...?

    Why don't you start your post as " X, Y Z and so and so ... frequently point their finger etc.etc. a much clearer request imo.

    Just to clear up any possible misunderstandings in that I have no overall interest in who pointed a finger at whom. What I was seeking to ellicit from the said people "X,Y & Z is what drives them to make incredulous gestures by casting aspersions on the politicians and security services in the wake of the terror attacks in the UK.

    March 22nd 2017   Westminster - London

    May    22nd 2017    Manchester

    June     2nd 2017    London Bridge

    However following the aftermath of the equally insiduous terror attacks here in France,

    June  7th 2015  Charlie Hebdo

    Nov  13th 2015  Paris

    July  14th 2016  Nice

    July  26th 2016  Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray (Church)

    Feb    3rd 2017  Louvre

    April  20th 2017 Paris (Champs Elysees)

    June   6th 2017 Paris (Notre Dame),

    which equates to an130% increase in French attacks over and above the UK attacks for the same period of time, I was never aware of any criticism, cynical gesturing or scathing remarks towards the politicians or security services of France, the home/residence of X,Y& Z .

    Spellcheck anyone?

  2. There are certain people resident on this forum who frequently point their finger and generally blame Mrs May as the previous Conservative Home Secretary and now Prime Minister for all the random UK terrorist atrocities.

    Will they now be re-aligning their index fingers towards Socialist Interior Minister Gérard Collomb and Prime Minister Édouard Philippe for this latest random attack in Paris, France, their country of residence?

  3. [quote user="lindal1000"]All ticket sales and donations during the concert went to a fund for the victims and their families and the red cross.

    It would be interesting to know exactly which of those on the stage donated what would normally be their appearance fee, for an event of that nature, to the fund.

    It showed those wishing to terrorise that they can't and haven't.

    Well I guess sentiments of that nature will bring a great deal of comfort to all those innocent victims who just happened to be in the vicinity of London Bridge and Borough market on Saturday night.

    Personally as a mark of respect to all those who met an untimely death at the conclusion of the first show I didn't watch the tv transmission of the second show and I'm sure your review of the performers will prove very useful.

    Unfortunately the 7 injured and 1 dead full frogeys, from Saturday nights abhoration, weren't afforded that privilege.

    And you think we need help?

  5. It would appear I'm your man.

    3years this July.  I'm quite busy right now but if you would care to pm me with any specific questions whilst I bone-up and write down on my experience and post-op rehab.

    Hope this will help.

  6. [quote user="andyh4"]OK I think I understand that subtle distinction, but have no idea if it is true or not. Are OAPS able to receive their pension free of tax no matter what their tax code? You are probably right and the onus to reduce the tax is on the others - why do it yourself if you can give the job to other income generators - and fine them if they get it wrong.[/quote]

    The UK government pays all state pensions free of tax, because if that is your only source of income then you will not be liable for tax as it falls within the personal allowance.

    Your observation above is, I believe, correct in as much that if you are in receipt of income other than a State pension then the payer of that extra income is responsible for your tax affairs whether you exceed the personal allowance or not.

  7. [quote user="andyh4"]That makes as much sense as anything else. The only thing I would pick up on is that you say the OAP is not eligible for a tax, which strictly is not so. [/quote]

    Ugh,ugh. What I actually stated was:

    "and these pensions are received 'without a tax deduction' and are not subsidised by the taxpayer".

    which is not the same as saying: 'they are not taxable'.

    On receipt of these pensions, that have not been taxed at source, a recipient I believe is required to fill out a self assesment tax return annually for the Internal Revenue Service to assess, if any, their tax liability.

  8. andy4 wrote: "(please don't ask me why, that is just how it is)".

    I believe it is so because with regards to the State pension all recipients have been required to fulfill a commitment to contribute via NIC for a specific amount of time to be eligible and these pensions are received without a tax deduction and are not subsidised by the taxpayer.

    As for a civil servant style pension an individual is obliged to contribute a set % of salary which the employer, I believe, contributes a similar or greater amount, although I understand that in the past certain civil service style employees, as part of their contract, would be in receipt of a non- contributary pension (100% taxpayer subsidised). 

    Because civil service style occupations are ultimately funded directly or indirectly by the government whom, as we all know, has no money but is reliant on tax payer contributions it is therefore universally agreed that any taxation generated from these pension should remain within the financial system of the issuing country, ie within the public purse as they are ultimately subsidised by the taxpayer.

    Therefore, France perceives any other form of pension income over and above a civil sevice style pension as fair game, including state pensions, for taxation purposes and they are all referred to as private pensions because they are not subject to taxpayer subsidy.

    I'm sure the above will be picked apart if deemed incorrect.

  9. For dividend income fill in the top section of part7.

    If your stocks/shares are held jointly with another person(s) and they are a declarent on a French Impot Déclaration then the dividend income will need to be split between all the receipients of that income and the tax element reported as apportioned. The 'Impôt payé à l'étranger' element is totalled and entered in Line 8VL on Form 2042

  10. [quote user="mogs"]Thanks to the OP.

    I clicked on the link you gave however it brought up a list to the left of the screen and I tried to register but nothing happened.

    In fact anything I click on nothing happens.

    What am I doing wrong please?[/quote]

    If you click on This you should land on the homepage. On the homepage locate Watch TV Now ( between Home and FAQ on the right below the address bar). This takes you to a page of 48 national flags where you can select which country's TV you wish to view.

    You must also have Flashplayer enabled on your device.

  11. [quote user="parsnips"]Hi,

       If you would only read the instructions on the form you would see that you enter the lesser of 17.7% or "the actual tax borne in the UK".   So you don't use 17.7% for 2016 income, you use the actual figure which is around 11.1%............................The form 2047 asks for the actual foreign tax which the the dividend has borne, not what tax has been paid abroad by the declarant.[/quote]

    It seems to me that you could be over complicating what for years I've always found to be a relatively simple declaration.

    The taux applicable was previously 11.2% and increased to 17.7% in tax year 2012 (declared 2013).  As long as I have been declaring dividend income I have always calculated a net figure for declaration in line montant net encaissé which when the taux applicable is applied the line Resultant produces the figure I would enter in the line TA on the old form 2047 (now line 206). This Montant total de credit impot would be reported in line 2CA on form 2042 ( now line 8VL)

    This method has always been acceptable to my tax office as the dividend credit impot shows up under Credits d'impot, Imputations on our Avis d'
    Impôt as (Retenue à la source ou impôt payé à l'étranger) plus several other credit impots I claim

     

    As the system, for me, doesn't appear to
    be broken I won't be fixing it unless circumstances or the situation changes.

  12. If you use this internet TV service you are by now, since May 1st, thoroughly fed up of being dicked around by the allotted 2 minute viewing span before the crash screen appears for you to select the premium service or the free service.

    Select the former and you will require  a credit card. Select the latter and you will be back on the 2 minute crash screen loop.

    However, all is not lost. This service offers everything you will ever need. 48 countries selection of tv channels. UK to France. Latvia to Vietnam. Mexico to Moldova. The choice is yours.

    Enjoy your viewing.
