How Your Finances and Taxes Change When You Move to France
Moving to France changes how your income, pensions and savings are taxed, often before you've finished selling up in the UK. This free live session with a cross-border financial specialist covers French tax residency, what happens to your UK pensions and ISAs, and how to get your finances in order before you move.
What you'll learn
- How French tax residency is decided, and the point at which it starts to apply even if you're only in France part of the year.
- What happens to your UK pensions once you're resident in France, and how the France-UK double tax treaty treats them.
- How your UK investments and ISAs are taxed after you move, since the ISA wrapper stops being tax-free the moment you're French-resident.
- How to structure your income and savings before the move to avoid paying more tax than you need to.
- The main differences between the French and UK tax systems that catch new arrivals out.
- What French succession and inheritance rules mean for your assets, including forced heirship.
- A live Q&A. Bring your own situation and get a straight answer.
Who it's for
Most useful for UK nationals who are moving to France, or splitting their time there, and want their pensions, savings and investments sorted before residency changes the tax treatment. You don't need a finance background.
