French tax traps you need to avoid and why Paris is divided in two

This week we'll find out whether France is running out of fuel or not and get the latest on how expensive it is to fill up your tank here. We'll hear about a cautionary tale of how the French tax man caught an apparent 'non-resident' because of all the take away meals he was ordering in France. And we'll alert you to a few more tax traps you want to avoid in France during declaration season. We'll also discuss the new plan to cut waiting times for residency cards, why one part of France doesn't have motorway tolls, the latest on the EU's new biometric border checks at French ports and why there's still a clear east west divide in Paris. Host Ben McPartland is joined by the team at The Local France Emma Pearson, Emma Albright and our politics expert John Lichfield. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
