Roro Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 A retired friend who lives nearby is a UK OAP but lives in France. In 2015 he sold a house in the UK which he had owned for more than twenty, but less than thirty, years.Will he have to put the gain on his French tax return, pay the CSG and then claim it back?

Debra Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I thought property was plus value tax free after twenty two years now but you pay social charges up to thirty years. If he is an OAP and is on an S1 he should be able to put a copy of that with his tax return and add a note to say he is exempt from the social charges as he wasn't 'a la charge' of France for healthcare. They shouldn't then charge him it. Unlike people who sell here and the notaire takes it and then we have to claim it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I realise the advice is a bit late now but I thought better late than never :)Hopefully your friend has already done this. If not, then yes, I guess he'll have to claim it back. Not sure how you do that though. I'll have a go at it myself when I find out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
