Friends of ours have been in france for just over two years, they have not, and are not going to go to the tax office here in france, we have said that they are probably paying more tax in uk than they would here, but they have said that they will live with that rather than go to all the bother of sorting out their finances and filling in complicated forms, can this be right, my gut instinct says not, how will all this end up for them.

What they are doing is illegal, and when the authorities catch up with them they'll get - at the very least - a hefty fine.  But honestly, don't worry about them.  My attitude to people like this is that you'll never persuade them to do the right thing so why waste your breath?

Well, eventually, when their E106s run out then they will probably be asked for their French tax returns by their CPAM.  If these aren't forthcoming then they will be unlikely to get into CMU, imo.  Still, if they're willing to pay UK levels of tax they won't mind coughing up for private insurance will they?

My guess is that they are retired and using E121's  and they don't have to produce an earnings declaration for their health-care to CPAM. so for now they can get away with it, but what happens when they want to sell their property? assuming that they do own one, they will not be able to show proof of residence to the notaire.

Even with an E121, they are required to declare their rental income in France.

of course they are Clair, but unlike E106 earners there is no check or balance in the system to make them do it.

 

This of course is what a lot of people in similar situation on E106s thought until the health care changes were proposed and then its suddenly, "Ive been in France for 7 years and they want to throw me out of the system".
