French PM makes expat tax regime commitment

“We want to build the financial capital of the future,” said the PM. “In a word, now is the time to come to France.”

As many consumers of expat financial services in France already know, the French tax regime allows for tax deductions for non-salary benefits – for example, assistance for education fees.

The government also indicated that it would try to create more favourable working conditions for British wealth management firms looking to operate in France.

However, one potential stumbling block is the issue of freedom of movement; France agrees with other EU countries that British financial firms should be allowed to retain free access to EU markets only if Britain remains committed to the principle.

Investing for retirement in stocks, shares and other commodities is similar; we need to accept the risks. By making calculated decisions we can hopefully avoid making detrimental investment decisions.

Unfortunately, those who don’t know how to invest for retirement, or those who receive bad, fraudulent or unregulated retirement investing advice, may be tempted by the promise of so-called “guaranteed” returns or unrealistically high dividends only to find that they have sacrificed their life savings for fool’s gold.
