Is it a good idea to pay tax in France?

Well bigears, we'll just have to hope that the next time you need help or advice from other forum members, they don't chose to be similarly economical with the truth.

Thanks for the helpful replies.   (I know someone is only trying to be funny, but I don't see the point of posting lies - I can't cope with people who can't be trusted to be truthful!)

I assumed we should be in the French tax system as we will be living here.  Not yet sorted with E121 and complementaire and European health card runs out soon.

No-one replied to the question about whether it's possible to get our son to pay for complementaire, as part of the rent for our UK house.  I suspect the payments we will make for the top up health insurance are not allowable against tax?

     Hi, Llantony,

                       Top up contributions are not tax deductible.

                        As far as your son  paying for your complementaire this is possible directly, at least to Exclusive Health Insurance (tel 0494512490(france))--(01212882363 UK) who told me "they don't mind who pays but must be in € via french bank account OR annually by UK Credit Card (not Switch)".

                        Or as I suggested earlier he could send you the money at Xmas and birthdays when it would qualify as a non- taxable "Present d'usage" .
