Thanks Geraud so much for the very clear information of the French tax jungle! Well, it shouldn' be but it is because all mostly written in French. Once you are not good at French, the tough level seems to be twice or triple to study. We are planning to run a business here in France and would love to get connected for the legal/tax consulting.

Are foreign pensions taxed in France? Specifically, government/ public pensions. For example, I receive a U.S. military pension and in a few years my wife will retire from her US federal government career and will draw a pension…and we will both be eligible to receive social security in a 10-12 years from now as well. Thank you for the information.

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 !

I'm British and always wanted to move to France but when I learnt about how the state operates and the Tax I just forget about it, it worse than the UK; its' just pointless to crucify yourself on such an absurd system when you can go elsewhere.

Excellent video. Very informative. Thank you! We are retired American educators with modest social security and pension payments, and very modest rental income. We had been looking at Spain, France, and Italy because of their healthcare systems. But, Spain and Italy would tax us more than France, and France has better healthcare. Is my perception correct? 60k per year is taxed less in France than in Spain, correct? Thank you.

"Declaring your worldwide income isn't the same as paying taxes on it.." ok, but an unhappy thing I learned when I lived and worked in Germany: the more your worldwide income, the HIGHER the German tax rate ! so, no, they don't tax your US income, but they let it jack up the rate on your income in your host country -in this case Germany - but I bet France does the same - Géraud could say, but be aware, I thought it was a hidden tax in higher rates .

Thank you for your video, which gives me hope to move to Nice. We receive - as German natives) a German pension (35K) and moved 2 years ago to Spain for climate and financial reasons. We were surprised about the high taxes here in Las Palmas, GC for this pension (16 %). I truly would have loved to move to France but thought the taxes would be even higher. I fluently speak and write french (as a former interpreter French/German Law) and I love the culture. Can we dare moving there and not to be ruined by the taxes?

We have income from investments in the US. I foresee executing's buy or sell orders while in France. We will have no rental income in France, and plan on paying for our own health insurance. 1. Do we need to file/pay taxes in France? 2. Since we plan to own our property in France, do we need to pay property taxes? 3. Should we be concerned with inheritance tax? Thank you in advance.

Fairly clear although something seems not correct with the tax formula, as a single person would be 1 part and using that formula would pay 100% of their income as tax. Also, I have three sons fully dependent on me (for now) but the older two are 20 and 18 respectively. Would they still be 0.5 parts each? Looking at selling our home in New Zealand and moving to France to retire. I will not be working but I always have investments in stocks, foreign exchange markets and cryptocurrency. As everything progresses, I will look to become your client.
