UK State Pension Husband and Wife Declaration

[BluegrassFreak]

With regard to declaring both of our UK State Pensions for Tax purposes in France, Do we have to submit these on a seperate FD5 forms on our 1st submission to the French Tax office?

If not on the FD5, where do we declare it so it is not taxed in the UK ?

We submitted ours on two separate forms when we sent in the French tax forms. Took a few weeks for Nottingham to process, but we pay no UK tax on pensions. Savings interest still taxed, banks wo'nt pay gross, so have to claim yearly.

Have a look 7 posts down in Finance,  the process for FD 5 etc is explained.  There is an easy way to get back tax paid on UK savings, you just do a UK self assessment tax return and as long as your interest does not exceed your tax free pay, you get the tax paid refunded.  Once your UK pension is subject to tax in France and no longer taxed in the UK, you do not have to declare it to the UK tax people.   This is not a ruse, it is recommended by the CNR at Bootle.  Do a search under self assessment,  this has been covered a number of times.
