Annual Tax Return Service

Tax matters are never easy to understand in one’s own country, let alone having to deal with these in a foreign country, in a foreign language. Many differences exist between French tax regimes and legislation, and that practised in Anglo Saxon countries. Club95 can provide assistance and information related to :

 Income tax  Capital gains tax  Inheritance tax  Wealth tax  Property taxes

This service does not include completion of your annual tax returns in France which is available in membership options 2 & 3

Having gained more than twenty years experience of practical life in France, Club95 can assist members in the following matters in France

Buying property in France (assistance with purchasing procedure, understanding of "compromis de vente" and "acte de vente", etc ...)  Living or retiring in France  Medical / social security cover  Having a UK driving license in France  Insurances in France (house, car, medical)  Who to contact on moving to France  Obtaining a carte de sejour (if necessary).

Most of these matters require careful consideration when moving to / living in France and if possible, it is preferable (although not essential) to seek information prior to making a full move to France.

Setting up or running a business in France has been known to be a slightly complicated affair. French bureaucracy must not deter business persons but it is important to seek information where necessary. Business in France is very different from that in the UK.
 

Club95 can provide general information to members who wish to start an activity in France, or members who may have already taken that initial step and need some advice along the way.  Do be aware that for some technical matters, it may be necessary to seek the advice and assistance of a French accountant, French lawyer or French notaire. Club95 can assist members in making these contacts.

Club95 can assist with registering small business activities (eg auto-entrepreneur) in France and completing all declaration formalities for a small additional fee.

Having a telephone conversation in French may never be easy, specially when you may be trying to find out when your electricity is going to come back on, or when the builder is coming to finish the work, or trying to fix a date with the notaire, or contacting the local tax office about a problem.

 Club95 can make these types of contact for you. We will act as the members intermediary and make the appropriate telephone calls, then reporting back to the member.

Be sure to understand

 Understanding both practical matters and more complicated technical matters in a foreign language is never easy  Club95 offers a fully bi-lingual French / English service to simplify members activities with France.  Within the annual membership fee, Club95 provides an informal translation service to assist members in the understanding of ongoing documentation (letters from utility companies, bank documents, tax correspondence, planning permission documentation, general correspondence, etc).  In addition, Club95 can provide a formal ‘word for word’ translation service for which there may be additional costs involved. Quotes can be provided on sight of documents.

Keeping you informed

 Keeping members up to date with information and events in France is important to Club95  Club95 will provide three newsletters per year for members which will either be sent by e-mail or post  The newsletter will include information related to various matters of interest to French property owners and may also be available on the members information website
