CeeJay Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I emailed our local tax office at Montpellier this morning and asked the question as to what would be the official exchange rate for paying tax. I have just received a reply which gives a statutory notice of some sort and lists the rate to use for a number of countries. Against Royaume-Uni it quotes that the rate as at 1st January 2011 was £0.8608 to the Euro and as at 31st December 2011 it was £0.8353 to the Euro so the taux moyenne over the year would equate to 0.84805 for 1 Euro and then converts that to £1.17918. Having now asked I shall have to stick with that!!!!Taken from a previous posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 1.18 was quoted by Civray Tax Office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Thanks, guys! I was hoping the answer would be less [6]So....I think I'll stick to actual rates when the money was received.Just to illustrate:The rate on 8 July was 1.11957, on 2 Sept was 1.13778 and on 22 dec was 1.2012You win some and you lose some, I suppose.

AnOther Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 According to The Connexion (yeah yeah I know) the average rate for 2011 was 1.1522.I only quote that to illustrate the length of a piece of string.Ultimately, whatever number you decide to use you have to be able to justify it it challenged, that is really all there is to it.

Boiling a frog Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I have taken my pension payments (paid in euros gross) for year 2011 and have come up with an average of 1.15 € to the £ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I assume that Bugsy contacted his local tax office to get the rate, and that's what I do too! Then I have an official reply to keep and use if necessary to justify my conversions. Not that my income tax is going to set France on course for economic recovery.

NormanH Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Now that I am filling in the declaration in the new way I think I was wrong (shock/horror) in an earlier post when I said that I could just put the total of the 12 transfers I received last year as being my income.In fact those transfers were net, and under the new system I believe I should enter the gross amount.Quite where I find it I am not sure, since the P60 is for the tax year March 2011-April 2012, not for the tax year 2011 as required in France....Heigh Ho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Norman, as the exchange rates etc are all based upon the date of receipt, what I did in your situation was to add up the gross amounts received in the calendar year and declare them (ie work from your own bank statements.) I don't know if that's entirely correct but as long as the total amount you earn gets declared each year, then nobody loses do they? I've never found an official way of doing this but of course it might be somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 But my bank statements only show what I received, which is net, not the gross amount which was paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Doesn't the pension service tell you what the sterling amount was gross for each one? If so then take that gross amount, convert to euros using the daily rate shown for the day you got the net amount then add 'em up. If you never get told what the original amount was except via the P60 then I agree, you're stuffed and I guess just have to declare a pro-rata sum for the number of weeks involved.
