If you are a UK tax payer and own in France and submit a tax return in France, when declaring that in the UK via self assessment do you get taxed again?

Tax Implications of Owning In France
I can't possibly advise you - I have described the principle. I suggest you talk to an accountant or tax adviser. My OH is a retired a/c and even so, no way does he attempt to do his own tax between France and the UK. He has someone who stays up to date with the latest tax legislation do it for him.
Re: Tax Implications of Owning In France
No, and yes...you will end up paying the higher tax rate of the two countries for your circumstances. For example you may be on the abattement of 71% in France, meaning you are only taxed on 29% of rental income there. If for example you are in the 40% tax band in the UK, then you will have to pay HMRC the difference between what you pay in France and the 40% rate. This is complicated by the fact that the French abattement does not allow any deductions, whereas for UK declaration you will deduct your outgoings.doleawg wrote:If you are a UK tax payer and own in France and submit a tax return in France, when declaring that in the UK via self assessment do you get taxed again?

On the other hand, if you pay more in France than would be due in the UK, then there is nothing more to pay in the UK.
But talk to an accountant, ideally one specialising in both French and UK tax.
