My wife has a UK state retirement pension and I have a Teachers' Pension. Both are taxed in the UK before we receive them. If I enter the gross amount, will the French authorities know that this has been taxed, and is not what we actually receive?     Report

Both are taxed in the UK before we receive them.  DWP have no mechanism for deducting tax at source on a UK old age state pension (State Retirement Pension). Are you saying that your wife receives another pension in the UK and her coding takes into account her State Retirement Pension? Benjamin Snips, snails and puppy dog tails    Report
