If, for instance, your back-dated contributions entitle you to several years' pension arrears, and you receive the net amount (the pension less the contributions) in a single payment during 2008, you will have to decide how to declare it in France.  I don't think there can be any doubt that the gross pension amount is taxable in principle, but is it all taxable in the same year?  More important: if you weren't resident in France for part of the arrears period, is the amount related to your non-resident years taxable in France?  And if you don't declare it in France, should you declare it retroactively in the UK? I don't know the answers, but I suspect that some people who have previously stated that they don't believe in the accrual principle may now become convinced that it's not such a bad idea.       Report
