waring

Already spoken to several French lawyers, and while they have a good grasp on French law, the EU aspect is missing. Bluntly they don't know, and all I can find is legislation related to tax avoidance, which is not the aim. I got a fat zero out of the EU as well. No reply.

Hi I run a concierge company in the French West Indies, and want to start providing my clients with Rental Villas. Under UK law I am perfectly entitled so to do, as long as I am correctly bonded and trade within the law. French law requires all sorts of qualifications, experience and paperwork that I do not have, and thus even an application for a licence is years away. I am in effect being denied the right to exercise my trade. I understand that delocalisation in terms of tax avoidance is a no-no, but is there a way there a way that I could open a UK company, and rent my villas from there, if I was resident in a French territory and openly declared my income to the French authorities and paid all appropriate charges and taxes? Thanks in advance.
