Tax
If you decide to come and live
in France permanently, you will be considered a tax resident and will
have to complete an annual French tax return. It is not a matter of
choice, if you are considered a tax resident, you will be required to
pay your tax under the French regulations.
You must let the British authorities know you are living abroad.
