gert Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 hello good people,i`ve only been in france for just over two months now but looks like i will be staying for a while. i am renting a property and looking at options for buying either land or a house and am not working at the moment,my children have just started school here also so will be making an appearance on the education forum shortly i would imagine! my main income is the interest from our house sale in the uk, as this does not cover all my expenses can anyone tell me from experience whether i am entitled to apply to have it paid without tax taken off at source in order to obviously make it go a bit further. have written off to all the benefit agencies in the uk as my eight weeks is up and will shortly get affiliated to the system here when i get the right forms back. any advice will be appreciated.

Jc Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 The bank/building society where your money is invested will give you a form(R85?) to apply for gross(untaxed)interest.This only applies if your total income-including interest -is under the tax threshold and that is not that high.

derf Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Unless you bank with Nationwide B.S. they will not pay you gross (overseas residents), you must pay the tax first and then claim it back from the UK taxman once a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
