Tax forms - do we need them?

[Ron Avery]

Many UK financial institutions will not pay interest gross to French residents now, or open new accounts.  So the easiest and HM. Inspector of Taxes approved method of getting it back is described above.  IE via a self assessment appication.

If that is not applicable to you, you have to go through the double tax indemnity process  via your French tax office, Paris and then Nottingham, who instruct Bootle to repay the tax  via a cheque or to a bank of your choice.
