BJSLIV Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Are you resident in France? Is it your main residence?If the answer to both these questions is yes then you will have nothing to pay.If you are resident in the UK you have a taxable gain of 30,500 Euros, the exact amount will depend on how many full years you have owned the house.I have assumed nine full years.On basis this you will be required to pay 16% tax 4880 Euros. On top of this you may have a further liability for UK CGT depending on your other gains for the year, and the outcome of the budget on June 22nd.You may be able to reduce the gains if you have receipted expenditure for work carried out on the property.

woody234 Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 Are you saying you bought the property for 40,000FF in 2001 and you are selling it now for 60,000yes thats the thing i brought in french francs in 2001 which I gather is 50,308 euros looking at my credit agricole mortgage repayments letter they sent me in 2003 but the total mortgage including interest is 60k euros for the total interest on a 10 year fixed rate mortgage but ive paid 8 years so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Driver Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I think you are getting muddled over your figures. The transition rate between francs and euros as at 2001 was 6.55957FF to 1€ so 40,000FF would equate to only 6,098€.You need to dig out your acte de vente and look for the purchase price on there.

woody234 Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 yes its " de ses deniers personnel,soit" 66 500,00 FRF and "du present pret, a concurrence de son montant, soit" 330 000,00 FRF and " montant total de l'operation" 396 500,00 FRF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Driver Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 [quote user="Sunday Driver"]You need to dig out your acte de vente and look for the purchase price on there.[/quote]...because that's the base figure that your capital gain calculation starts from. [;-)]I think you're just reading off your Credit Agricole letter that was written two years after the date of purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
