Tax Harmony

Some time ago, I went, armed with British tax forms, to the Antibes tax office. The mission was to get myself declared fiscally resident in France, and thus not subject to UK income tax. The forms were complicated, the day was hot, and the tax officials here were worked off their feet.

I was very well received, though, and they stamped and signed my forms for sending on to Paris and then to the UK. I thought the chances of anything happening were pretty slim. However, yesterday I received two charming letters from HM Customs and Excise announcing that the process had duly been put in motion.

Well done, both lots of tax people; and thanks for being nice, too.
