Lambkin Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I've just read your FAQs on tax etc, so that I will know what to do when the time comes. But, if I have understood right, for France you declare the interest paid on UK savings from Jan - Dec. But, UK banks send out their interest statements in April for the tax year April-March. Um, derrrr ..... http://www.completefrance.com/cs/images/emotions/confused.gifVery helpful FAQ sheet though, thanks for providing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 It's one of the mega-pains of the marriage of the two systems. However, you pay the tax in France when you receive the money - thus if the interest is credited to your UK account at the end of December (as it is the case of my own Nationwide account) thus you can declare it in France in that year, even though the actual statement doesn't turn up from the UK until April. If your bank credits your account after the end of the year, however, then you declare it as the following year's income. Hope that makes sense but anyway somebody better at this will no doubt pop up before too long if not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambkin Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Thank-u Cooperlola. So in fact, if I moved here in October, and I don't get any interest credited between Oct and Dec (it's an ISA I have and interest is credited at the end of the tax year i.e. April) I don't have to declare any at all this year? Yippee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBarcaresJoe Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Seeing as you got you answer can i hijack your thread and ask another reallt stoooopid question (no point littering the place).Just filled out the Taxes Foncieres online and have been sent a "adhésion au télérèglement" to send to my bank. along with a RIB. Am i missing something here ? Is a RIB not just my bank details Code établissement/Code guichet/Numéro de compte/IBAN...etc . That the bank should already know my details?Now hows that for a dumb question. ( And my first post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 An adhésion au télérèglement is needed each time you set up a new direct debit/standing order, to give your bank permission to pay out funds from your account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
