going back to work in the UK and living here
I want to go back to England to work as I cant get employment here and am not fluent in french. I am now resident here, so wondered if I need any specific papaerwork to work back in the UK from any officialdom here or can I just go and work as we are in the EU? I am assuming that as my wages will be paid into an english bank account I can just transfer the money into my french account, but how does it work with tax? as presumably I may be taxed in both countries...

sorry to hear that it didn't work out and I hope that someone comes along soon to help you. Were you in France for a long time? All the best

Re: going back to work in the UK and living here
Hi Artemis, since 2004. I lived off reserves and spent a fortune here doing the place up. There is still some left to do but I looked for employment and had no joy, so want to secure a regular income and figure working some months back in England and coming back and fourth might make more sense.
Any knowledge re the tax aspect? I may downsize and move on to be honest, its something im seriosly considering now.

Re: going back to work in the UK and living here
Legally if I, as a Spanish resident, earn money in the UK then I pay tax on it in Spain only and afaik it is the same in France .... if you are a resident in France you pay your taxes in your country of residence, i.e. France.
Your situation sounds a little more complicated so I'd suggest taking tax advice from someone who is fluent in EU tax laws.
