Im clearer on the residency and tax perspective, but still uncertain on the pension side of things. obviously we will have to take professional advice but Im just trying to gain a little basic knowledge here to help out. Basically, so, we all decide to apply/register for residency and open french bank accounts. Me and hubby find work (in an ideal world) and look forward to filling out our tax returns!? We inform the UK we are no longer resident, our child benefit stops and hopefully the inland revenue wont pester us again (although we will still  have part of the year to complete a UK tax return for).  We register for french child benefit presumably. Grey area - what happens to mums UK pensions? She has 2 private pensions and one state pension. Thank you and apologies for the barrage of questions. Youve been most helpful.            Report

When you arrive here your Mum needs to complete the following form (available on line here http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/cnr/france-individual.pdf). This is largely self explanatory and will enable your Mum's pensions to be received without deduction of UK tax (although as you already know UK tax is not deducted at source on her UK State Pension but is collected through her tax coding). If,as is most likely, she has continued to have tax deducted at source from her private pensions, this form will trigger a refund of tax paid since she moved. You will see from this form that it needs to be completed (both language versions) and submitted to your local French tax office. You could try submitting it as soon as your Mum arrives here but the opinion on this forum is that your Mum submits it with her first French tax return. You should inform your UK tax office(s) that you are leaving the UK and any future dealings you have with HMRC will be through the Centre for Non-Residents in Nottingham.
