mellybelly Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hi, Hope someone can answer this question.We have moved back to the UK so are no longer resident in France although we do still own our house there, and have been trying to sell for the last 18 months. This will be the first tax year (last years declaration of earnings) that we will have no earnings in France to declare on our tax return. Is there a process for this or do we simply put on our tax return that we had no earnings and tell them that we are no longer resident from this tax year ?Any info will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroTrash Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 You need to tell them the exact date when you left France, and declare any global income up to that date as per usual (savings interest etc). I believe there is a box on the form to write the date in, but could be wrong. You'll also need to tell them your address in the UK where the taxes foncière and habitation bills need to be sent (which they will probably ignore).

( CGI art,150 U ll.2°). If your length of residence is around 2 years, you might want to adjust the date of leaving to be sure of 2 full years.

woolybanana Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Is it true that if you quit the country within three or four months of the beginning of the fiscal year that you are not liable for any tax on those months?If not, do you get a full or prorata personal allowance?
