Later Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hi. Does anyone know how dividends are treated, with respect to French tax liabilty, when paid by an English company to a shareholder tax domiciled in France?I know this sounds like a stupid question because it seems very unlikely, but does anybody know if dividend payments attract cotisations?Thanks in advance.

Later Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 I've just read somewhere else on the Forum that dividends are treated as unearned income which attracts cotisations. Can anyone shed light on this? - I think I'll post that as a separate question, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesLauriers Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Dividends are entered on your tax return and are subject to allowances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't say anything about allowances though. He has lots of ex-pat clients and seems very clued up as to our particular circumstances. Speaks good English too,so this isn't a case of my faulty translation!p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Later Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 Thank you Leslauriers and P. P, would you mind if I contacted your accountant directly by email? I would be really pleased if he could give me some advice - which I would expect to for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
