Fittersmate Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Help!Form 2047 - P2 Section B - have entered savings in col 8, applied the 17.7% and then entered total (col 8 + 10) and entered this under TR and then transferred this to TR on Form 2042 and the amount in TA has also been transferred to 2042. Is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinabee Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Isn't the 17.7% only applicable to dividends - not bank savings interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Trellis Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Struggling to complete the form (serves me right for leaving it so late but life has been hectic lately with health problems).The Connexion guide says 'UK interest should now go in column 8, intérêts and then under D and TR on the lines below, before being carried to box 2TR on page 3 of the main 2042 formI must be very dim - I can't see box 2TR on the main 2042! And as tax was paid in UK how will the French know not to tax it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under the Treaty , dividends are taxable in both the UK and France, but a credit is given in France for Corporation tax paid in the UK on the profits on which the dividend is based. The credit is for some reason fixed at 17.7% for UK dividends , and this almost ,but not quite the same as the tax credit shown on the dividend certificate.

Mrs Trellis Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Our bank interest has been taxed in UK. It isn't a huge amount, is it worth the trouble of requesting a reimbursement and then having it taxed in France?Also, my income is below the UK personal allowance, so I guess I could claim back tax on my share of bank interest. But then it would be taxed in France so I'd be worse off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araucaria Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Your UK bank interest will be taxed in France anyway, so you might just as well claim back the UK tax. Of course if it's only a few pence it might not be worth the postage costs..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
