French tax FAQs - clarification please

[Judith]

Sorry,

I thought I'd cracked this -  but - just about to copy everything across and double checking government pensions and when I read the govt pension FAQ again:

I have highlighted in blue where I do not  understand:

So, on form 2047, your

gross pension  (is this all pensions, or as I have been putting, state, occup and personal only ) goes in section I PENSIONS, RETRAITES, RENTES.

The total then go across to box 1AS (or box 1BS if it’s

your wife’s pension) on the form 2042. Then to get the tax

credit, you enter the gross (which gross amount????? - govt pensions or all pensions????)amount of the pension on form

2047 section VI REVENUS IMPOSABLES DE SOURCE ETRANGER OUVRANT DROIT A

UN CREDIT D’IMPOT EGAL AU MONTANT DE L’IMPOT FRANCAIS

CORRESPONDANT A CES REVENUS then transfer the total across to box

8TK on the form 2042.

That's

it for your ‘government’ pension

Sorry, but now I read it again, it is not at all clear.  Could someone re-write it so we do know what is meant, please.

Parsnips,

Thanks.  In the end, I think it will make it much easier to complete, but having got all the figures organised as per  last year, when I came to double check everything, I became very confused.

However, you have confirmed what I thought it meant, and I spent the morning adding things up in the new way, so should be ok now.
