First time filling in Tax Declaration

[andyw]

Morning All,

For the first time we will need to fill in our tax declaration ourselves.

We have gone onto the online declaration form and find ourselves a bit confused. We would normally go to our tax office in Granville to seek advice but that is obviously not an option at the moment.

Our declaration is quite simple, we need to declare

My wife’s teachers pension
Income rental from our property in the UK
UK bank interest
FR bank interest

Can anybody advise where these need to be entered ( box no etc ), or where we could get advice.

Many thanks in advance

Andy

Hi Andy, I have seen lots of threads on here about filling in tax declarations. Here are just a few and there are others, you just need to search.
Good luck

2019 French Tax Return

Hopefully someone can assist with this issue. We sat down to complete our French Tax returns this afternoon. No issue with the 2047k Revenus de source entrangère, no issue with the 2042 ck pro but something is amiss with the 2042k. We went to put in our UK Government pensions, which according to the guidance notes is entered, as we have the last 9 years, in box 8tk. But there is no box 8tk! So I read over the guidance notes for both the 2047 and 2042 again and it definitely says enter this total in box 8tk. Has anyone else come across this?

Declaring foreign interest on Form 2047

I’m trying to fill in tax form 2047 online. I’ve given details of pensions received from the UK - no problem. I’ve filled in the details of the gross interest received from the UK putting the total amount in box 2TR but when I try to proceed I get a message which says ”Veuillez renseigner le montant net encaissé selon le pays d’origne de vos revenus.” (Please fill in the net amount collected according to the country of origin of your income.). I’m at a loss understanding what other box I need to fill in. I’ve looked at the “How to declare your tax online” guide, which was posted earlier, but to no avail. All suggestions welcomed. Many thanks.

Declaring on line - how simple is it?

I’m about to declare on line for the first time. how simple is it ? Are the same boxes on line as on the paper version ? I normally fill in 2047 and 2042. Are these the same on line ? Thanks

The one you need to look at is Graham Lees’s reply on the last thread that Izzy M linked above. Post no 56 on that thread has a great table showing which income goes where. Have tried to copy them here but may not work

My tax situation is similar to Andy’s.
I had no trouble last year in completing the declaration online.

This year I am not able to get the part of form 2042 which includes 2TR for interest on savings to appear at all.
I have clearly missed something earlier on in the process. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Tim

Oh I think I found it. I did not tick the box about Revenue de valeur et capitaux etc.

If the savings are from a French account they will already be present, if they are from a U.K. or other foreign account that have to be declared on 2047 not 2042.

Thanks David but I cannot see where to put UK interest details on 2047.

[timclayton]

This is online.

Hi David,
If I’ve receive a consultancy fee in the foreign bank account, which box do I enter in form 2047?
Thanks

Hello
First time online for us too. Have managed to find boxes for our various little bits of income. (Whether they’re the right boxes I’m not sure at all!)
We’ve still got our house in the UK, wich is rented out, but in getting it ready to rent we had various expenses, and the rent didn’t start until towards the end of the year, meaning that we made a loss.
We know how to deal with this on our UK non-resident’s landlord forms, no problem, but has anyone any knowledge of whether it’s possible to report a loss on the French tax return, i.e entering a negative figure?
I think the relevant box is on form 2042 box 8TK, from what I have read.
Many thanks.

Hi David,

I was thinking to put the UK bank interests in line 252, but you advised to put it in line 260.
So I shall put the amount in line 260, right?

Thanks
