Babbles Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'm still non resident for tax purposes and I run the B&B as a non resident auto entrepreneur , then send my french tax bill invoice to my English Tax accountant who does the necessary adjustments because of the dual tax treaty, pretty simple stuff as I pay a French accountant to make my declaration then forward the info on to the UK, one less think for me to worry about and 120€ well spent!!

Pickles Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 [quote user="Babbles"]I'm still non resident for tax purposes and I run the B&B as a non resident auto entrepreneur[/quote]Really? I was under the impression that the statute of autoentrepreneur is not available to non-residents. The responses that I have seen reported (on the internet, so pinch of salt at the ready!) by people who have asked the service des non-residents are that yes, you can continue to be registered if you were registered and then left the country, but that you lose the tax advantages. I'm not sure what the tax advantages would be in your situation ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babbles Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 At the moment the majority of my income is from the UK business so its best to use my tax allowance there and makes for very simple accounts in France and yes you can be a non resident auto entrepreneur, I didn't think you could but my account assures me you can. If I want to up the drinks license to be able to charge for wine separately I then can't be an auto entrepreneur but when I'm full time here in France that's the time to make the switch , also when there is a divorce settlement. but right now we're being as tax efficient as we can beAnd forgot to say it makes for big savings on accountancy fees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it also possible to do Micro Bic as a non resident. I am impressed how do you manage to run a B&B as a non resident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroTrash Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Could you explain 'non-resident Auto Entrepreneur'? What's the point of paying all those social contributions and not being in the health service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babbles Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 You don't pay social contributions, just the 20% non resident tax, when you make your UK declaration the french tax paid is taken into consideration of your earnings in the UK. so you're not taxed twice.

Or is the advantage really to do with maintaining your AE registration in the system for when you return to France full-time? (Apologies for the inquisition!)

The rules of the AE regime are, AFAIK, quite inflexible - if you are registered as an AE you are required to make your trimestrielle declaration and pay your % cotisations on that figure, and if you have opted to pay tax then that is taken as well, at the fixed rate. In return you get your carte vitale etc. Are you saying there is a whole different AE scheme for non-residents, with different rules? Could you provide a link, please?
