But here-in lies the problem and why we needed to get out of the EU. France/the French/the French Gov't have always wanted THEIR WAY, always been fcuking difficult and ALWAYS been beyond the point of greedy when it comes to residency taxation. Ultimately, French Gov't taxation has always screwed those non-French living in France and it will never change.
I'm looking at retiring/wanting to retire to France [French Alpes] but am really struggling with their taxation system and know they will fcuk me over at the first chance/first slip up I make. Really the French are incredibly stupid...they would gain far greater non-French resident tax receipts if they eased off their draconian laws. Here, they hide under the immoveable "Napoleonic law", which of course has nothing to do with Napoleon...it's that b'stard of a fellow De Gaulle, his subsequent inceptuals and their innate hatred of open minded British liberalism. The Frogs call this Socialism, when in reality they are the least of "social..." a Gov't and only social when it's to their national advantage [read increased tax revenue].
I wish you luck, Stanley...
I just might p!ss off to Switzerland and get charged 10% flat on everything
If I actually understood most of that I would comment
But.
Most of Europe do a 183 day rule for tax where UK don’t (and never did even when in the EU). Yes part of the reason You will see our location. Come and try it bring the landy.
