Tax and residence in

France

France Basics

France is another eurpean land with much ancient and modern history as well as being a centre of art, music and culture. The french have always been fiercely independent and differrent with their own ways of being. This in itself makes France a great land for living. Famous for food and sexuality, who could ask for more?

However, France is not a possible tax haven in any way. It is however one of the most popular destinations for British expats especially and therefore included here just for completeness.
