UK–France & Expat Tax Advice
Specialist UK–France tax support, with broader advice for internationally mobile individuals
Living, working or investing across borders often creates uncertainty around tax residency, reporting obligations and where tax should be paid. For UK citizens living in France and French residents with UK income or assets, this can be particularly complex due to differing rules, deadlines and reporting requirements.
Circular3 specialises in UK–France tax advice, helping clients understand how UK and French tax rules interact and what needs to be reported in each country. The same structured approach is also applied to other expats and internationally mobile individuals with UK tax obligations.
Support is available face to face where appropriate, as well as remotely, for clients in the UK, France and elsewhere.
