Calvados Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Does anyone know what the new restrictions on earnings and commissions are re: the new regulations regarding Britons working in France? I believe these are new rules.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 We are not aware of any new restrictions. As far as I am aware, things are as they always have been, i.e. there is no restriction on British people working in France as long as they can find suitable employment (not always easy when unemployment is high among the French) or, if self-employed, they are properly registered.Would you mind telling us where you heard about restrictions?

Calvados Posted July 27, 2005 Author Share Posted July 27, 2005 My wife heard one of her senior mgrs talking about the fact that a new regulation had just come in that would restrict earnings potential of commission earners whom were British nationals working in France... Now we know nothing else... So I wanted to find out if anyone has more details on this.. please..Tx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owens88 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 HiCould you explain what you mean by commission earners ? Do you mean employees who have a commission as part of their earnings package ? Or an agent ? (the eu Agents Directive is little known in Britain but more widely acknowledged outside the little Isle).Or..CheersJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvados Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 Yes that's right, commission earned as part of the package...I believe the French authorities have put some sort of earnings capping on to the earnings...that's all I know and I wanted some clarity on this...TxBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 There have indeed been some Chinese whispers on another forum about commission-only sales jobs in France becoming illegal. Are you perhaps referring to working as an agent commercial in Fench property sales? This is an area which was challenged in the French courts last year, and although it does not specifically affect the British there are quite a lot of British working in this field.

Buntina Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I cant see this being true - why cap what someone could earn? If tax is being paid on commissions then i cant see a problem - would love to know more if anyone has any info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvados Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 Its not only for commission only earners, butit has apparently already been regulated in the last few months...I dont have any other info and I was hoping someone could shed some light on this for me..Is there anyone there that has connections with French law..?TxBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
