Default Residency Status

Hello all,

I've recently moved to France and just wonder what I need to do (back in the UK?) in order to gain non tax status in the UK? I plan to stay here now and feel I should become fully tax pledged (if you like) in France?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Maybe you'd do better to put this in the France forum?

I filled in a P85 before I left, but I don't believe it makes any difference if you fill it in now and send it to them. I also followed up with a call to make sure they got it, and yet despite this they tried sending me a tax return for 2009. Fortunately they apologised for their mistake in writing and told me I'm not due anything. I even got tax back (from over payment) last year.
You'll still get taxed on any interest you have with savings in UK banks, but there are forms you can send to the bank (forget the form number now, and not all banks accept it), or you can claim it back from HMRC I think, so that you're not double taxed.
