Thanks everyone for your help.  It has at the very least given us some pointers in the right direction (probably back to the UK!!!!)

He works in France (from home via internet and phone etc) for about 3 weeks of each month.  For the rest of the time he's in the UK either in the office or seeing clients.  Hope that helps.  (The rest of the family are totally resident in France).

My husband works for a UK company but we live in France. (He works via phone and internet but for about a week a month when he's in th UK).  E106 apparently doesn't apply to us.  He is taxed and pays NI conts in the UK.  Can anyone advise us as to how to proceed over here? We've already had lots of conflicting advice from various official bodies over here and in the UK.  Can't seem to find anyone who understands the systems on both sides!!  I just hope someone's already solved this one!
