My problem is with the Form 3916, I've down loaded it and put it through Google's translate, but still don't really understand it. My questions are?:- 1.  Do I need a separate 3916 for each and every bank account and savings bond held? 2. Where on the form do I actually put the details of the account numbers held?   Any help will be very much appreciated. Alan    Report

Followed Clair's link but that did not help. What would be good would be a step by step guide .If some kind person knows of one ?    Report

Officially you should do them but what is more important is that you truthfully declare all the interest received.  You can do as Dr O suggests if you want, but as far as I can make out, and its not the easiest form to complete is it? -  (what does Qualité mean in Box 1?)  -  it looks like all you have to do as an individual is fill in your name and address at the top and the name and address of the Bank/Building Society and your account number at the bottom. If the account is in the name of someone else on your tax return you fill in 2.1 and do one form for each account. Why not post a sensible answer, people will appreciate it more    Report

After looking through the 2042 and 2047 forms I do have a couple more questions. Form 2042 Lieu de naissance -  Under Dept Number, should this be '99'? Adresse -  What does etage, esc. bat. and  nbre of pieces mean? Form 2047 I'm confused with building society interest, the FAQ's says 'Put the gross figure in Column 5 under Royaume Uni', I can find a column number 5 but where does the Royaume Uni come in? Finally, I arrived here mid August 2007, and received some final dribs and drabs of part time pay (UK tax paid), should this be included? I feel a real duffer....but thanks for your patience.

If you read your form 2042 it states "joignez la declaration no 3916 ou la liste des comptes sur papier libre"    Report
