Can anyone help me? I sold my UK house 3 years and bought a house in France with the intention of renovating it and moving to France permanently.  Unfortunately, my elderly parents both became ill and I have been unable to pursue this project and now live with them. I have recently sold my house in France and have been informed by the notaire that I must pay "plus-valu" at 16% on any profit.  As the French house is the only property that I own, is this correct?  Obviously I am a UK tax-paying resident. Thanks.
