Good morning, if you're an US citizen it would remain taxable in the US !

@@frenchtaxonline thank you but I have a different information. So France does not tax residents for income in the US? Spaind does up to 48%

@@joseeduardobtesh1651 it actually depends on your citizenship as well as the type of income you need to declare. Some are taxable in france and some are not !

@@frenchtaxonline thanks again. I clarified those thing in my question. Best regards but wrong answer!

Hello, you won't need to declare the amounts held on your accounts but simply the accounts themselves !

Thanks for the comment! Only days spent in France count (but be careful about the other rules to determine the tax residency!)

@@frenchtaxonline Thank you so much for the quick response. do the day of arrival in France and the day of departure from France count as well? -- I am assuming they do count.

@@steveorr8991 I believe too but the tax office rarely reaches that level of detail !

Thanks for you kind comments Lenora !

@@frenchtaxonline you are most welcome!

Hello, you have to declare your non French bank accounts but not the money held on them ! Thus yes you have to declare your revolut account if it is not a french bank account!

thanks for the comment!

Hello Esther, it would depend whether you have most of your personal and economic strings in france or in the UK - we have a simulator here if needed : www.frenchtaxonline.com/capital-gain-tax/french-tax-resident-simulator/

Thanks Scott ! If you're american stay with us a few more days, a dedicated video is about to be released and should answer all your questions !

@@frenchtaxonlineThank you!

Merci beaucoup

Good morning, you can send it by post but I recommend you to use a "lettre suivie" to be sure it arrives well (and to keep a proof of sending) !

@frenchtaxonline merci, in that case I have to add the recipient name. I don't know any person in that department so what should I mention recipient name when sending?

@@f.a.4077 just put the name of the service : SIP DE XXXX Service impot sur le revenu

Good morning, paying taxes and being a tax resident are 2 different things : you can be a french tax resident and pay no taxes because of your specific taxes (we have a lot of clients in this case) - you still have to declare your taxes in at least one country !

@@frenchtaxonline This crazy tax stuff is basically a European , US, Canada, Australia New Zealand thing. Most of the world has no taxes or little taxes. But my question was about people who work for UNISEF and live in Paris and pay no taxes. That looks wrong to me. But France let’s them pay no taxes because they want UNISEF in Paris. If you start making exception. You do not have a democracy. The EU it is now known is not be a democracy but a very nasty type of dictatorship. Europe is a beautiful place . But the short comings are so massive it will go down the drain. By that I mean mass poverty is going to come. France already has 25% of its population living in poverty.

Good morning, it depends on your status as well as your country of origin !

Hello, it is better late than never ! You absolutely must declare them with this tax return. If you want to secure your situation you may contact your tax office directly using the "messagerie" service on your impots.gouv account and explain them the situation and ask them what they'd like you to do. That way you won't be able to be fined as you are of good faith and declared this fact before the tax office does !

Hello! Yes indeed fines are possible for foreign accounts not declared in the past unless you declare them to the tax office before they contact you! Let us know if you need help.

Hello! You won't face penalties if you declare them before the tax office contact you - you better hurry up !

​@@frenchtaxonline Thank you for your quick reply. I saw a popup message "You declared an overseas bank account online last year, or the administration became aware of such an account through international information exchanges. Note: Accounts like PayPal and Transferwise are considered foreign accounts by the administration. For some of these accounts, annex declaration no. 3916-3916 bis is not mandatory. If this applies to you, uncheck the corresponding box." on my tax form about declaring foreign accounts. I'm now declaring these accounts, but I haven't received any notification by mail or been contacted directly. Should I be worried?

@@wowtunez no this is normal - declare these accounts for this year and if you want to be 100% sure about the past you may ask your tax office directly using the messagerie service whether they would like you to submit forms 3916 for the previous years. By doing this your good faith won't be a problem and they would not charge you fines !

​@@frenchtaxonline Thanks for your replies. I noticed that the checkbox of 3916 is checked by default with a message in French "Vous avez déclaré en ligne l'année dernière un compte bancaire à l'étranger ou l'administration a eu connaissance de la détention d'un tel compte dans le cadre des échanges d'informations entre pays. Précision: les comptes de type Paypal et Transferwise sont déclarés auprès de l'administration comme étant détenus à l'étranger. Pour certains de ces comptes, la déclaration annexe nº 3916-3916 bis n'est pas obligatoire. Si tel est votre cas, décochez la case correspondante. OK". Is this normal? This is my first time going through all the steps in detail. In previous years, whenever I opened the declaration form, it would jump directly to the signature page, and I would simply click and finish the declaration. This time, it asked me to go through the process from the beginning, which is how I discovered the requirement about 3916.

You are very welcome !

Good morning Ieda, we answered you yesterday about this : the official website is indeed facing issues and we are doing our very best to fix this with them but this might take a few days given the fact that there are plenty of bank holiday in May. Rest assured that we'll find a solution and submit your return.

you're very welcome!

You're very welcome

It's more than expected ! :)

You're very welcome!

You are very welcome, thanks for watching !

Yes indeed - I really don't advise you to buy your french property with a trust !!

Morning Lenora, a company is any legal structure not being an invidivual ! You can precise your question if needed!

@@frenchtaxonline merci

Thanks a lot for the kind comment, much appreciated!

Thanks Dean! Yes indeed the spanish tax brackets are higher than the french ones. That said US pensions and US rental income are not taxable in France for US citizen living in France thanks to the US/France tax treaty !

Good morning! Yes indeed you are right, your worldwide income would increase your final tax bracket and thus the taxes paid on your taxable income in France! This is a quite complex thing and I did not want to go too deep on this video (my very first one!) but I shall go deeper on the french taxes someday... :)

Thanks for confirming..I will seek further help if I can manage a move to France!

@@Taldanmus it will be our pleasure to help!

Good morning! LMP is not mentioned as MICRO BIC option does not apply to this given the new turnover thresold of 15k euros ! :)

Hello Emma ! You might not be considered a tax resident for the previous year (depending on the situation) BUT you have to submit a french tax return for that year given that you received a french income. You'll submit this return as a non resident with your current address abroad. We can help you if needed!

Thanks for your fast reply. What would be the determinating factors? It was from September to January. Does the contract type matter?

@@emmaakerlund5774you are welcome. Your other streams of income and your tax situation in your home country would be factors - I'd recommend you to reach out to someone from our team to help you (there are a few tax tips we can't necessarily discuss on comments!)

Hello, thank you for your very kind comment! One of the very next video (it is written already) is the taxation of US people coming to France ! Keep posted :)

You are very welcome!

Hello Firoz, visa and taxes are not directly related. You might need to declare your worldwide income if you become a french tax resident and receive taxable income ! It would also depend on your homecountry... :)

Good morning, yes indeed you'll have to declare it on your french tax return on annex 3916! You'll just need declare the account itself and not the money on it. US pensions remain taxable in the US even if you live in France!

@@frenchtaxonline Merci monsieur!

@@dr.michaellittle5611 mais de rien !

Bonjour! Thanks for the informative video. I moved to France in December 2023. Am I required to file French taxes this year, having only lived there a few weeks of the tax year?

@@learnersojourner Yes indeed - you are supposed to submit a french tax return as soon as you become a french tax resident and you'll have to declare in france your worldwide income from the day you arrived until the 31st of december! As I said, declaring does not mean paying thanks to tax treaties... :)

Hello Edward, your government pensions would remain taxable in the US as well as dividends and interests - the rest might be taxable in France depending on your final situation !

Merci beaucoup.@@frenchtaxonline

Thanks Jefferson!

Hello Elizabeth, thank you for your comment but we are unfortunately simply chartered accountants/tax advisors and we are not working on the VISA issues - taxes are enough !

I completely understand. Thanks Géroud.

Thanks for the nice comment @emk254!

Hello @mr-vet, usually government pensions remain taxable in the country where they come from. In your case it would remain taxable in the US and you would not pay extra taxes in france !
