DBUD Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Hi,We will be moving to France in the New Year and have some equity from the sell of our main residence in the UK. Can anyone advise me on if I would have to pay any TAX on this, if I was to put the money in a French bank account? Many thanksDarren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 You will be liable to income tax, and possibly social charges, on any interest earned. The amount and where you will pay it will depend on where you are living at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBUD Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 Even if the house was sold in the UK? I was advised that this was not the case? I:E if I made let's say £150000 in the UK by selling my main residence? I would not be taxed capital gains?So how can I be taxed in France if, I trnsfer the money directly from a UK account to a Notaires account for a property?Sorry, but I am really confused.........I guess that is why I sent the question in the first place CheersDarren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBUD Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 Hi All Sorry, I was a bit tired and shot from the hip, I guess , I will have to not make any interest, infact I probably will not as I will be buying a house in France straight away.. Many thanks again to all DArren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
