Taxation for French citizens in the UK: challenges and issues

Responsible taxation, our commitment

Living in the United Kingdom as a French citizen raises many tax questions. Between the Franco-British tax treaty, reporting obligations in both countries, and post-Brexit changes, navigating the system can be complex.

Understanding the Franco-British treaty

The tax treaty between France and the United Kingdom determines where you must pay your taxes. In general, you pay tax where you reside, but some income may be taxable in France (property income, pensions, etc.).

Our actions

We organise information sessions on taxation and work closely with tax experts to help our community:

• Understand their obligations in both countries
• Optimise their tax situation legally
• Avoid double taxation
• Understand the specific rules for non-residents

French citizens abroad are not tax exiles!

We firmly defend this message. The vast majority of French citizens in the UK live and work here by choice, contributing to both the British and French economies.
